    Default 1906 Mosler bank vault.

    I have a Mosler Bank Vault door in my building. The following is items that were told to me. First was Bank of Russia, then became Bank of America. There were also stories of First National Bank of which I do have another vault door in my building that has that name stenciled on it. The best fact is it was Bank of America founded in 1906. I believe it was a First National Bank before that so believe the door is older than 1906. Building ws erected in late 1800's. I am including pics and measurements.
    Door--6ft. 4in. H 2ft 6in. W
    Door thickness----3/4 in. Hinges 1 1/4 in.
    Top Hinge wall---- With acorns 18 in top hinge door face connect 16 1/4 in
    Bottom Hinge---only 1 acorn 14 1/2 in Door connect 16 1/4 in.
    Hinge plate connecting door 5ft. 9 1/2 in. H 1ft. 9 in. W
    Twelve 1 in Diameter locking bolts--2 top and 2 bottom 4 each side of door
    In a couple of the old pics it shows the door open. There is a Glass door covering the inside works. The lock has a stamped number 1441 on the cover.
    I DO have the combination for this door. It is 5 number combination. The copper color is the inside of door showing the Damasking and the other is the frame.
