dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 02/04/2014 8:38 pm That is one cool piece of history. I think I would pay to find out whats inside before I sold it or,,,,, tape a couple of seed coins on either end and sell it on ebay as an unopened - unsearched safe. Report this Post to the Staff
Bm0ney Pillar of the Community Canada 1005 Posts	Posted 02/04/2014 10:04 pm There's two similar, with prices, working, locally. In my travels this week I will make sure to take a pic and post the "asking" price. I sold a very similar but larger safe recently for $350 working with keys to the lockable drawers inside. It was posted in another thread. 28"x28"x34" or so Report this Post to the Staff
zookr Valued Member United States 335 Posts	Posted 02/05/2014 09:44 am Got a quote from an online collector in FL. - about $7/800 in working condition & combination. Design is still nice on it @ least, two people can pick it up (not terribly easily tho). Edited by zookr 02/05/2014 2:43 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Domain555 Pillar of the Community United States 1804 Posts	Posted 02/05/2014 2:51 pm WOW !! Thanks for all info. I have old safe. May weigh 750 to 1000 lb. Never thought of selling. Now might put it up on ebay. Wish I could up load a pic. Had it for about 38 years. Paid $40. Wonder what is is worth now? Report this Post to the Staff

zookr Valued Member United States 335 Posts	Posted 02/06/2014 5:23 pm I will be picking up a stethoscope. ;-) Report this Post to the Staff
Bm0ney Pillar of the Community Canada 1005 Posts	Posted 02/06/2014 9:46 pm Spin the dial counter clockwise 3 times around. Counter clockwise to the first number Clockwise past the second number twice and stop on it the third time Counter clockwise past the third number once and stop on it the second time Clockwise until the dial locks, turn handle, open door.

Bm0ney Pillar of the Community Canada 1005 Posts	Posted 02/06/2014 9:48 pm That method works if you know the three numbers. If you don't know the numbers you'll still need to know the method for trying a combination. Zookr, send me an email before you buy a stethoscope. There might be an easier way ;) I tried to send you an email but you don't have it turned on in your profile. Edited by Bm0ney 02/06/2014 9:53 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 02/06/2014 10:16 pm Have you looked underneath it? Sometimes people tape the combinations to the bottom or tape an envelope to the bottom..... I only mention this because its looks like a piece of cake to pick it up and tip it over. Report this Post to the Staff
