Cannonball safe- not sure how it opens
Safe has two crank handles: large one located to the left and smaller one located in the center.
The center one spins effortlessly, but the left one does not budge.
Just wondering if anybody knows the order and the direction these cranks need to be spun to open the safe.
Thanks
