    Default Herring and Co. Bankers safe fresh out of the garage

    Hello all, I have been looking things up on the site for a while. I just finally joined. I just recently purchased this Herring and Co. bankers safe. I was wondering if any other members had similar safes. I am trying to track down the serial numbers of similar safes. Currently the safe is not open. I bought the safe in Deer Lodge Montana where it had been shuffled around since new. I found an original article about when the safe arrived in Deer Lodge in the 1872 Newspaper. Most of the info lines up but the safe has a 78,000 range serial number. From what I have read and been told that would put it closer to 1890 based Herring & (Farrel) Co. advertisements. Does anyone have any dated advertisements featuring this style of safe? I included the article from the newspaper. I will try to get a smaller picture of the safe up as well.
