Description

For Your Purchasing Consideration: An Extremely "Rare" 1903 Salesman Sample Safe! Manufactured by The Victor Safe & Lock Company of Cincinnati, Ohio. Fresh out of an upscale estate from the Northshore suburbs of Chicago, Illinois. Measures 10 1/4" inches in width by 12 1/2" inches in length by 16 1/4" inches in height from the base of the wheels to the top of the safe. Has factory welded wheels for ease of movement.

The only flaw is a tiny indentation on one side of the safe, confined to the lower side towards the bottom of the safe, barely noticeable. Has a solid brass combination dial. The condition is awesome, considering this safe is 117 years old. Fresh out of an estate of a woman who is in her seventies. This safe was formerly owned by her Great Grandparents and has been in the same family since new. She had absolutely "no" emotional attachment. This is a fine & prime example of a salesman sample safe for the era. We believe this is the "Only" one listed on the entire worldwide web at the time of this listing.
