    Default Mystery Safe (Name That Safe)

    Would be great to learn the make and approximate manufacture year for this one. It's 26.5" high, 16" wide and 17" deep. The storage space is 11" wide, 15" high and 12" deep. It weighs approximately 100 - 150 lbs.

    The safe I acquired also has a four number combo.
