Nice trade. I don't know how I'd get such a large safe into my house. But I'd like one like that , simply because of all the writing about property of the USPS being on it.

When they delivered my Fort Knox they used an electrical dolly. It did all the lifting.

It's on rollers, though I raised with a floor jack to put 4X4's underneath so it wouldn't roll. I will take some more detailed pictures tomorrow.

I hope this baby isn't going upstairs on a timber floor.

What a piece of history I stumbled upon by being nice and tipping my postmaster regularly lol. It loos like it was built in 1951 which to me even makes it more cool.

The Post office writing on it really does just make it a fantastic item on its own. I would love to get one of these. Cant wait to see it all filled up

Just make sure this baby is far enough away from the front of your house so crims don't consider a ram raid!

That is a really cool piece. Almost a shame to hide it away in a secure location.
