safe was purchased from Sam's Club about 25 years ago. Need help identifying manufacturer, unable to open and has no markings, stickers or serial numbers and ANY external surface. It is a fire-safe with grey carpet and two shelves. see picture here:

Looks like a Liberty safe https://www.thesafekeeper.com/used-liberty-eg8.html , but it also looks like a Sentry Executive Safe http://www.discounthomeoffice.com/Fire- ... utive-Safe, minus the fact Sentry never uses a nice Sargent & Greenleaf brand lock, but Liberty would use one like that.

Is it 30 inch by 24 inch by 20 inch? Did you forget or lose the combination? When's the last time the safe lock and door was successfully open?

Where in the USA are you? our safe crackers are standing by.

Sure looks like it may be a Liberty. The artsy scroll design is something Liberty uses, but so does National and other makers. I agree with Squelchtone, leaning toward Liberty.
Squelchtone: if you have McOmie's 'Safe Opening' Vol 1, refer to page 197. It has a special order Sentry with an S&G lock (old style dial/ring). Of course, the pic goes back 25+ years.
