    Default 3 Dial Alphabet Safe Lock

    Our lock has 3 alphabet dials, and one key. The key looks like a knob. The lock sits in a case and looks like it can be mounted. In between the device and its case was a metal plate. The plate says manufactured by SABENA. My understanding is that SABENA was Belgium airline that closed in 2001. It also says Serial N is B747-2. We received this item along with other items of a B747. I'm curious if this lock was used by the airline or in an airplane. The date listed is Oct. 84. The P/N is 1-10569, though I have not been able to find anything about that. I do not know what the information on the right side of the plate communicates.

    If you are interested please make us an offer.

    Can't confirm its use by airline companies but it is the sort of lock they might well have used and is of typical continental European design. As far as I know this similar version is still being made by KabaMauer

    Default Sold

    This lock has been sold. I really liked it a lot but did not have a use for it. Also my family and I just bought a school bus and are renovating it to travel around in. Therefore, we are not keeping too much extra things around. It was tempting to find a way to work it into the bus, but we are still at the beginning of the process.
