That is a pure antique, and from what I'm seeing it is worth quite a bit' of money.

That safe has been for sale at that price (which is insane) for a very long time. So I would not assume that the safe the OP has is worth a high price. It almost certainly is not.

As to the OP questions.

No records exist as to who would have purchased the safe.
Some records exist to date the safe from it's serial number. So if you post the serial number it maybe possible to put a date to it.

Wow... Yeah If only they lowered that price a little it's still a beauty lol. So just out of curiosity with the serial is the number somehow coded into it so is there a way to possibly decode it (if we happened to have the serial?).

What kind of condition is your safe in? Those sites that list safes for high amounts are usually repainted safes and I am not sure who would ever pay that much.
