I’m no lock expert but I’m very good at research and I have a good friend who restores old safes and has great knowledge of locks.

Last one to sell I believe sold for a little over $5000 here on in 2012, I understand market fluctuates. I’m an advertising collector so understand markets very well.

I’m listing for $8500 OBO, is it worth more? I don’t know probably not but that’s why we have the best offer option, in the end it will sell to the highest offer, whether that $1000 or $8000 we will see.

Shipping will fully insured

Thanks for looking.
