The Cary Safe company beened around from 1 so the safe is from that age. All the lock and mechanical elements have actually recently been serviced and are in fantastic operating condition. The patina on this piece is excellent and actually reveals it's character. The lettering checks out "W.G. Hamby" on the top and "San Fransico Gal." on the bottom. I attempted doing some research on this individual, however created nothing. Possibly you can have better luck! This would be a great ornamental piece and a high quality working safe. It measures 26 inches tall, 16 inches large, and 191/2 inches deep. $700 OBO. Kindly call 5O9554466O with any concerns, thanks.
