Please help, I have just been given a Milner 202 safe and would like some information on it if you can.

It is in lovely condition having been in the same office for some 100 + years ( or so i am told ) i have looked to see what numbers are on it and could only find 1651 which I located when opening the door and found inside on the top right hand front of the safe.

Another number on the safe is the same number as stamped on the key ?

Everyone else who has a safe similar to mine seems to have has a longer number, Is there a reason for mine being so short and does that reflect on its age. ie..the smaller the number the early date of the safe. Any help on this would be appreciated as to how old you think the safe is please.

Thanks in advance , REME
