    The image is on their website -whether the safe still exists I dont know, but might be nice to get some people together and arrange to see it if they have it.
    The 1890 is part of a longer serial number with an extra digit, which makes it 1891.

    Tom, I seem to remember that there was such a visit many years ago to the storage warehouse in the West Country (?) arranged by either Brian or more likely Tony Beck.
    My contact in 1992 at Kensington was Jane Insley who confirmed that the safes I had seen at the Museum were still in storage and that I could acquire photographs such as the one on the first post.

    Would be Tom but have a very limited radius of travel nowadays. Would be good if you can get things going though.
