It turns out we can still buy replacement parts and even the gold leaf decals.
I am excited to make this one pretty.
I have always wanted one so this is really cool
 
No saving the outside unfortunately.
But I am going to give it the full deep glossy and gold leaf treatment.
 
Did the punch out the Dial? Or. just disassembled?

I hauled home an old safe about have that sized 29 years ago. Had it about a year until figured out I don't have anything worth locking up in it. :rolleyes:

Disassembled
Documents and pistols will be in it
Even if I didn't have anything valuable
I have always wanted one of these
 
Back in the day... I had an old upright Coke machine. I moved a lot back then & finally got tired of hauling that big sucker around... had to get rid of it! :eek:

BoB
 
way cool safe... they always seem to give me some kinda childish exited feel to find out whats in... :D ofcourse with the door open that`s a bit less :rolleyes:
good place to store the keys to your truck too.... or maybe better the carb or something to prevent theft :D
 
Update
This is the lock that was in a cardboard box inside the safe.
When I opened it up there is a piece of paper with the combination on it!
 
Just for fun i have been researching better locks.
I can get one that is cutting torch and punch proof for around $175
 
I think I underestimated the weight of this thing.
I went to the local locksmith and learned a lot about old safes.
They had one that looks like mine but is about 6 inches bigger
It weighs 2100 lbs!
