It has just occurred to me to ask, are any of them anchored in?

00247, I was always under the impression that this casted horizontal bolt bar was a Schwab design. I surely haven't seen it all. Would you...

I was wondering if someone can help me identify this safe. That's just it, Wehrle was the mfg. They were a large stove foundry that also mfg. cast...

Hello Huw, As regards the Ratner, I think I was mistaken in thinking it was one of the post 1970 Ratners made by Tann whereas from the handle it...

The other contributors to this thread dwarf the knowledge that I have, but I suggest you post images of the strongroom for them. There are...

Just realised, stevenkuk you haven't given us any heights or dimensions for any of them. I'm trawling through crates of chubb and CM right now, no...

His belief in the abilities of his builders to shift these safes is probably optimistic. And I think that Stevenkuk is going to find it a costly...

Brave man seating a jammed door in tighter to open it 8-) no those marks are something I have never seen before JIS MARS may be worth doing a...
