littleboy: That safe looks remarkably like the safe door of the Head Office of the Commonwealth Bank in Martin Place in Sydney. I helped with some architectural refurbishment design work on the Bank in the 1980's. The Bank was officially opened by Dennison Miller in (I think) 1924. He was also a signatory on the circulating banknotes at the time.
Actually there are not a lot of manufacturers of those type of units so many of them look similar or exactly the same. A pnoto like that could be one of probably many hundreds of the same.
As far as a safe being safe, I always love it when so many think a large safe is ssfe.
One of my neighbors had a large safe, bolted to the floor and wall and a so called home security system. They went on vacation and while gone a moving van pulled up to the house during the day. Neighbors asked what was going on and the movers said the people that lived here liked it so much where they were that they decided to stay there. The movers emptied the entire house, encluding that safe. They took everything including light bulbs, window shades and YES, the security system. During this the security company called and the so called movers answered the phone and told them three wsa an accident but all is OK now. Naturally when the vacationes returned home and found everything gone, they were really stunned as to how they did everything so fast.

I agree a gun safe is the way to go
As you can see it doesn't take long to fill and
over flow into another display case.
Ever wonder what happens to things inside a safe. Yes most are so called fire proof but they do get hot. And hot enough to melt plastic. Ever wonder what happens to all the things in a safe during a fire made of plastic, cardboard, wood, etc.?/
