Victor Cannonball safe

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!

Hello! I have an old Victor Cannonball safe that I want to get open. It was my dad’s and he never had it opened, but always wanted to know if there was something in it. He passed away a few years ago and I am now cleaning up his shop and wanted to get it opened before I get rid of it. Does anyone have a recommendation on how to break into it? I would love to find a combo for it, but if it needs to be scrapped after so be it. I just want to [image][/image]open it before it goes away. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. https://ibb.co/DH2wpRV6

hi! this will not be an easy task. they are very sturdy. the combination lock can be probably opened by a method called manipulation. then the safe should open, but there is a lot of rust which is the natural enemy of a screw door.
