Honestly, physically that is the spitting image of one that was in my family. Ours still had decorative paint accents and a natural scene on the front but really the same safe.
Pretty sure ours was a Victor - IIRC late 1800s date. |

Quoted: Can anyone give me an approximate year as to when it was made? I pick up tomorrow and will post more pics then, this pic is from the website. Comes with combination. Measures 20x21x31. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/423847/Screenshot_20210603-224536_Samsung_Inter-1966293.JPG I swear to Jesus thats the safe from our Kodiak telecommunications warehouse. If its not, its the twin of it. Same roller wheels and everything. We got rid of it when we changed locations. It just sat open for years. |

Here she is, just got her home. 2 men were unsuccessful at lifting this bitch, so they loaded it up with a forklift. I'll have to unload it with my engine hoist. 4 digit combo, dial spins freely and opened right up. Unfortunately she was empty. Pretty small inside considering the exterior dimensions.

Who needs friends when you've got equipment? This fucker has to weigh 400 lbs or more. My truck was squatting a couple inches with it towards the rear of the bed.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Good thing you had that engine hoist. Work smarter, not harder. Has come in handy for more than just engines. Had to replace the plumbing on the underside of this spray rig before I could mount it to a utility trailer. I wasn't very comfortable underneath that thing  Attached File |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Meanwhile OP doesn't even mention that bad ass steamer trunk!!! That one is a little rough, but I think i I can clean it up. Hinges are good and tray is in good shape. I pick them up from the auction whenever I can find a deal. I paid 25 bucks for it. Can probably sell it for 60 bucks or more once I clean it up. Here's another that I have in my personal collection that I probably won't sell as it's in really good shape  Attached File |

Now holds blankets at foot of our antique bed. Yep.You have to find the right buyer, but I've sold some for 100 bucks. Most rough ones I sell for between 40 and 60 bucks. I try not to pay over 30 for them, but I never buy something that I'm not ok with keeping. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Is it a badass safe? If not, did you pay next to nothing for it? Else what? It's not badass and wasn't cheap. But it is really old, and I have an affinity for old junk. I might can sell it for a profit, but I'm happy to keep it and use it as a base for a coffee table or something. |
