Won't dry heat cure glue? I would think to get glue to soften, you would want steam. I would think you might need to wet the glue and use a heat gun. I am assuming the glue is animal bone glue. ...

Doug considering it is almost 100 years old, I'm not complaining about it being bent. It doesn't look like the safe was even attacked, but it was surely dropped. Wylk, thanks for the suggestion....

If you put a 300w lamp in and semi-shut the door then I would imagine the glue would all soften over a few minutes or hours.

I'm going to have to get my 300W light out and stick my head inside and see if I can figure this out. Hopefully I can get it rebuild as near original as possible. I also came up with another...

Thanks for decoding that number, I'll look a bit more for any other numbers or markings... But I doubt I'll find more. Rog
