I got this safe from my soon to be grandmother-in-law (for free for getting it out of her garage at that!) I had looked at it once about a year ago and didn't think anything about it. About two months ago she had asked me to look at it and see if it could be moved. It did not look to be much from the outside, but...

As I o0pened the front door, I saw an ever so familiar name on the inside of the door! Yes, "Bankers Dustproof Timelock Company". I have a few running movements of these, but had yet to see a safe with one in person!

Of course at this point, I was very excited for the find, was hoping I had run into one with a couple south bend movements inside! to a little of my disapointment, there were three Illinois movements behind door number two. Still very exciting, but was hoping to run into the more scarce south bend movements!

To say the least, a very well made safe with years of life left. Maybe someday I will be able to afford to have someone restore the beauty back to original. Until then, it will be used for some personal type files in my own garage!

Jared,

You may find this interesting. You should give that safe a nice paint job...it looks very heavy and secure.

Cool item Jared!

My grandfather attended that 1904 exposition. Made a big trip on the train with his buddies. The only time he traveled outside the state of Maine in his life.

Boy that is a beauty, would sure look good restored. Do you have the serial #'s of the movements. Thanks for showing it to us.
