john tann's safe : need informations

[stephane]

hi guys. came back from England with a beautiful (of course not in this condition) john tann, and very surprised by the weight of this one : very heavy for a compact size. no key with so need to cut one, work done today with some difficult, first because i am not familiar with this job and secondly because a part in the lock make me cut the key in a perpendicular way. this is my first type of lock.
no idea of the period for this safe but heavy weight and when i knock on this is not the habitual hollow sound. i doubt this is fire proof material. sound like concrete but not matching with the construction.
very interesting by details and original paint job for this model.

thanks in advance
