    Mentioned in an earlier thread, the company makes these tabletop safes using a door design inspired by the great round doors of which the CFRB's is an extreme example. Watch out, last I checked one of these little items was around $23,000.00 as I recall.

    Doettling does not produce safes themselves. I know a company in Switzerland that is producing safes for them or lets say the ground models of the safes before putting leather and other things on it. I have visited that company already and they produce some REALLY nice high end quality safes.

    If anyone is interested I could probably find out which company or who produces that small one, since it is not the company in Switzerland.

    Actually, if it's not too much work, both would be interesting to know!

    Beautiful - but is the term "high security" accurate?

    Only if you put in in concrete. That would almost be a crime.

    The Cleveland Fed is briefly featured in the 2010 Modern Marvels episode "Doors" (on the History channel and/or History 2 in the US). At one point the narrator calls the episode "Entries and Exits" (I think that's right, it could have been "Entrances and Exits")) suggesting there was a name change at some point.
