G day,
I am brand new to this forum and I love it, I cannot believe the amount of combined knowledge on this forum it is great. I am a locksmith in rural Australia and although we don't do a lot of safes in our day to day work, the exposure I do get i love. We recently had a customer bring in a nice Tann Defiance safe and he wants it painted and serviced and sold on his behalf, fortunately all of the badges are still in good condition and no rust (if anyone is interested in buying the safe send me a PM). The serial number is 8448 and I was hoping to get a more accurate age. From the searches I have done Tann Defiance was manufactured about 1900 to 1907 so a more accurate age and any info you guys have would be great even how much the safe would be worth in Mother England, the hinges a really nice and it has some nice scroll work on the door I will post pics when its done.
Thanks Nick D
