Firstly, I looked at those J. Bing safes, and I can see how my description led to that, however that's not the type.
Secondly, as far as the link above referring to the patent information, I know that the patent shows a lock fixed to a round door. The patent itself seems to refer to an improvement which makes the lock easier to work on when changing the combination. My assumption is that the round door is in the patent for example purposes and that the mechanical operation of the lock itself would remain the same on a floor safe of similar make and era. I do understand that is an assumption. If no one has information otherwise in forced to assume the drop-in area rests in a very common spot and may be opened quite normally.
Thirdly, the first link I provided attaching pictures I took leads nowhere. In a later post I successfully added the poor pictures that I did take. It was my first time using that web service.
Lastly, I cannot stress enough how much I appreciate everyone's time. Your knowledge is priceless! I had held off on a membership here thinking it was a site full of only sport picking forums... and I have no interest in picking medeco locks, the only people who need that info are the self-proclaimed "boring" folks employed by the "US dept. of Forestry." At 26 I'm the youngest independent locksmith in Minnesota to my knowledge. My age alone should allow you to assume i'll be back soon with more questions.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
