Chubb 175th Anniversary Edition Safe

**Timbo** · 07-10-11, 10:53 PM

Hi Darryl,
The paintwork was specially designed for the 175th anniversary complete with logo's. I don't know what colour it was when it was new, but perhaps there may be someone can tell us. I believe these were designed for either the Co-Op dairies or United Daries and were nicknamed the Milkchurn safe (hence the round door). I would also like to know what the correct name of this type of safe was when it was manufactured. Can anyone help ?

In these rebuilds if you can show the insides of the lock I would love it!. Nice paint job on the safe!

Safe 98,
Many thanks for the pictures. It obviously took an awful lot of work and effort to get the safe looking as it does from original condition. You did it proud

I am just about to renovate an old Stephen Cox safe which was given to me last week, although I cannot compete with your skills !!!

Timbo, if the situation in the UK in the early 30's was anything like it was here in the US, it was painted very plainly. Round door safes were extremely popular here for decades, mostly resulting from the superior fit that could be made in protecting against nitro attacks. Thanks for posting your very nicely restored Chubb. I am posting pictures of a Herring Hall Marvin that is very similar to the Chubb but in another thread. It uses the same type of rotating ring boltwork. Doug
