    Default Help with Marvin Safe and Scale. need "Fly"

    I'm new to this forum, but I have several antique safes. My most recent purchase was this pedestal - boudoir safe Marvin Safe and Scale Company. I'm missing what I think is called the "Fly". I have two of the three "Flys" and would like to know if anyone has one in their box of miscellaneous parts they would sell?

    Thanks

    Here in Cleveland, I have only seen one of those locks on a safe. However Marvin was a popular maker on the East Coast so there is some hope. I remember thinking that wheel design was an odd one with all the slotted holes. The wheel had sustained some damage and did seem to be a bit fragile on its perimeter. If you are unable to locate a fly, I can make one.
