    Hello everyone,

    I need an estimation of this antique safe which belonged to my grandfather, and before to his father.

    All I actually know about this safe is that my grandfather (who died in 2014) already had this safe decades before he married my grandmother in 1960.

    The external dimension of the safe : 111cmx73cmx52cm

    At least 19th century but could be older. Built like a strong-box. Can't say I have seen anything quite like it here in the US. Using search terms; antique strong box safe, brings up some similar. Some fancier ones are listed as 18th century. Plainer ones are mostly designated as early to mid-19th century.

    Oh, I did not know that. Sorry for the mistake, is there any way to edit my message ? And also, I saw a market place section, can I post my advertise in Sell or Auction ?

    Thank you.

    It's ok to leave it stand.....for others to learn !

    you can use the Sell Forum when you have more than a dozen posts , but it's not very active as a tool.

    I have to show this to my husband. We have lots of people asking us to sell used safes for them, but never saw one like this!
