    The lettering is probably short for "Herring's Patent[ed] Safe, NY". I'm guessing mid-1800s.

    The lock does not look original.

    He doesn't have the combo .. I am thinking of restoring it ..

    Any idea on a approximate weight of the safe.. He said 1000lbs.. I have seen similar that were only a few hundred
