safe left outside

Forgot how to dial the combination on that old safe? Think you got the right numbers but the handle is stuck? What safe should you buy? Ask your safe questions here!

without a photo, we have no idea what you have in your hands.. upload to http://imgur.com/ some photos of entire safe, and then close up of the dial and handle and we can tell you a whole lot more about it's age, complexity, etc.

Cant wait to see it, thanks!
