My new old BAUCHE safe

Today I bought an old BAUCHE safe at an antique shop. It was not cheap but I haven't seen another one like it. I've seen combo locks like this in a book or website but never in person. It works like a charm and has the two original keys.

Cheers :)

I know little of locks and keys but there is quite a similarity between Wilson's Keys and those of Linus Yales Magic Bank Lock. I haven't checked dates yet so could be a mile out. ...

Thanks for putting things right Oldlock. The picture here of a Wilson Lock shows how quickly Cotterill stopped acknowledging the real inventor.
