    Default 1890s (?) Diebold

    I was able to obtain this old Diebold from an estate in Arizona but the combination was not accurate. It had been locked for years and the contents were unknown.There had been many attempts by different people and locksmiths to open with no success. I was hoping not to have to cause damage to open it.
    After about three hours I managed to get both doors open.
    I was very pleased with the machine work on the backside of the inner vault door.
    Funny thing the outer doors combo knob is marked "Diebold Cafe Company" instead of the word Safe.
    I am new to this site and hobby.Any info (thoughts )that anyone may have would be appreciated.
