I'm looking for any helpful folks who can I.D. this thing for me, as i have no idea where to start. I am hoping this could be my first box to practice a bit of safe cracking on.

Its a George Price, Improved Patent safe.

But you knew that already, because its written on the front!

Probably weighs about 200Kg

Other than that, you'll need access to the advanced section for picking techniqures etc
It's all about the tension . . .

however for moving it, think of the various programs on tv about building pyramids etc,

you'' need heavy timber to create a smooth path,you cant drag that on grass without a heavy payloader.

next you'll need some log rollers and levers to pry it up onto the rollers, and some slaves to move it.
Wake up and smell the Kafka!!!

Here in the states you can rent safe jacks at just about any rental yard. They go under each side and strap around the safe with ratchet straps.

They look like this:

The ones I have rented had a lever rather than a hydraulic jack. The ones I rented were only like $30-40 USD a day.
