    Diebold with the pre 900 lock. It may have been called a 800 model?

    Very nice, i think those were called the 'Cashguard', remember seeing very similar in old Locksmith Ledgers but with a radiused slot cut in the hinge plate and a single stop pin sliding within the slot. That'll look great when it's done and I bet he'll love it when you present it back to him.

    Can anyone date it? I thought it was from the 40's / 50's by the quality of the casting and that the innards of the lock are more cheaply made than what I am used to in the antique safes. It came out of Chicago to Northern Wisconsin around the early 60's. I still wonder why there are no markings of any sort.
