All dates in this album not the best of shape, but I feel the 1909s VDB looks pretty good. Been in friend’s vault over 54 years.
Oh yes, the beauty of it needs work. But it opens etc. Weighs about 1500 lbs. I would love it in my home after refurbishing it lol. That kind of quality is gone.
My brother in law has a nice safe similar to this in his law firm. It’s unused and unlocked but I’d sure like to have it.
It’s a nice piece. This one opened just fine. It’s in his shop so weather got to the beautiful but gosh, sandblasting would be magic. The name is embossed in the steel on the bottom of wheels so the name is there which is a plus. Any stampings of course not there.
That's a cool safe, but I'm always nervous about raw S VDB examples, even ones that have been locked away since before I was born - they've been faked for a lot longer than that. This one looks like a good match for Position 4 to me. The bottom serif looks slanted instead of vertical, which would be bad, but that might just be the photo. Crossbar in the B looks good, as does the dot position. So... maybe good?
