    Fire safe? Kromer Novum?

    Kromer novum was a possibility for me, but just a guess, I think the hinges are deceptive as the safe apparently weighs 1100kgs, so probably not a fire safe.

    Perhaps you can compare (or get compared) this photo with the key hole?

    The frame casting is interesting. The bottom is appreciably deeper than the sides and top. I have seen that in night safes, but not in anything else.

    I only know fictive "Franz Jaeger" safes from the Olsen gang movies.

    Gary, this is stretching it a bit but I remember the name (spelling could be wrong) from the 1950's when the security chief of one of the Scottish Banks asked if I could compare a Danish Night Deposit safe with those then in use in this country and which were being blown open with great regularity. These were fairly basic Chubb Commerce, Tann Standard etc.
    They had one sent over to our workshop and which I recollect as being more or less identical to the one illustrated though of a smaller size.

    Like most other Nordic safes a plinth was incorporated. Also like other Nordic safes reinforced security concrete was in general use, doors and bodies. This is where Stratford took the idea in 1962 for the Stronghold, Sterling etc. when they had trading connections with Rosengrens.

    Couldn't find anything on t'web, many thanks for the info, I will try to play with the spelling and search again. I don't suppose you can recollect anything about the protection or lock and boltwork design do you?
