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!

I wonder if anyone can give me any details about the lock that is in my old J. & J. Taylor safe, including the manufacturer. The cover does not have any information on the inside or outside. It's a small safe that is approximately 2' x 2' x 1 1/2'. Also, would appreciate if anyone knows any details about the safe, such as the approximate age. Thanks!
I think it has a lot of similarities with a Hall's straight-tailpiece lock. The Hall's is screw change and not key change, but the case and false gates are extremely similar.
Unless I just haven't been paying attention, I do believe that is the first key change direct entry lock I've seen. I didn't even know they existed. Nice. Thanks for sharing.
