    Question Terwilliger 1890s Wall Safe Found Buried in Wall- Looking for Resto help

    Found this Terwilliger mini safe in the wall of my c. 1890 house (NY, USA). It was buried behind the backing of a cabinet that I am removing in our renovation work. Looking for help restoring and putting her right back in the wall and into service where she belongs. Anyone interested in the work and being part of the project?

    Regards,
    Jason

    That is a tiny unit. A little gem.

    I can't imagine there being anything in it that would be difficult to fix.

    I did a search on Terwilliger and came up empty handed. If your serious, send it off to Doug MacQueen and Matt Lamborn. But then you can't hide it behind a picture, you will want to prominently display it.
