    Default 4 Safe & Vault Door Miniatures For Sale

    These 4 miniatures are looking for a new home:

    Back left- Equitable Building styled door- previously posted

    Back right- Cleveland Fed York styled door- full 3-D static model- the door is viewable in the frame from the back with the 16 bolts on show.

    Front Left- very ornate Fichet styled door- clam shell locket opens and closes and locks by the hand-wheel. A lot of very fine brasswork on this one, with gems set in the front and inner lid. All handmade and represents a lot of intricate work!

    Front right- Tiny Corliss Cannonball as posted previous- all solid brass, outer ball only 7/8 of an inch diameter. Turning the small knurled knob slowly rotates the inner ball via a worm gear drive to access the inner compartments. All handmade and 'aged' to look antique. Not an original saleman's sample but it's got to be the smallest!

    If anyone's interested in any of these just message me on here for details
