Jewler's chest ?

[bitbuster]

This is of my opinion only. I believe this is a Hall's Jewler's chest and not a military field safe as advertised. These chests are heavy and even if it had heavy duty "D" ring handles it would be a bear to move.Possibly has a direct entry lock or maybe even a Premier. Other thoughts/opinions ??

Definitely a Hall and definitely a Premier lock. I don't know what model the safe is though.

He must expect everybody to have the fancy new phones that allow you to text cash. Kind of like an ATM.

I take that back, after further review it does not appear to be a Premier.

The last jewelers chest I worked on was screwed into a bigger safe, it was about 100 years newer

You hit the nail on the head,BDH. I believe this chest was originally in a Hall's. "receipt from the restorer of the safe that called it a US Military Safe". That's what the restorer called it. That's what he THOUGHT it was. I still think it is an inner chest from a big arse Hall's. Field safes I've seen have the door on top and with heavy duty side mounted handles.

Just a short road trip for you.

Most modern military field safes have a protective collar around the dial to prevent it being knocked off. It's a bit of a defining feature, like grab handles or tie downs.

Anyone know if earlier military field safes usually had a protective collar around the dial?

Pre WW2 usually no, but the earliest ones used key locks.
