    Default S. Mordan Strongbox

    Does anyone by any chance happen to have a picture of one of these in its former glory. I have searched for them and only come up with a leather writers box. Sampson Mordan was a apprentice to John Bramah and is said to have invented the propelling pencil. I am guessing the big hole beneath the name plate was once the home of a Bramah lock. I have believe it or not been aske to open this without Damaging it. There is a lot of information about Sampson Mordan to be found by various searches however none of them shows this box or any other steel boxes of this nature.
