    Default Multi-padlocked safe

    This is new to me, a safe that uses multiple padlocks. I can't tell if it requires all padlocks to be removed to open, or if just one is adequate. The back of the photo includes "Each member holding a key." The images are from an eBay auction for the photo (not the safe!). Any more information on this would be appreciated!

    Does anybody recognize the logo on the safe? Or the logo on the padlocks?

    Padlocks look like Yale 853 lever style bronze locks. Made from 1920's through the mid 1960's. The box is a lot older.
