Forgot how to dial the combination on that old safe? Think you got the right numbers but the handle is stuck? What safe should you buy? Ask your safe questions here!

Could you take a close-up pic of the dial? Are all three dials the same?

Looks Mosler or Cary to me. The old paint is likely still underneath, probably with some nice artwork too.

As you assess value, assuming you are thinking about selling the safe, be sure to give consideration to the cost to the buyer of both removing it from your property and transporting it.
Good luck!!

this safe is currently in Guyana, South America.
im trying to get some info to see if its worth shipping to FL.
it was owned by Royal Bank before we bought it over 10years ago. I think it may be english made.
i have the combinations and the keys to change the combinations.

It's a US made safe, not British. What's shipping going to cost? That safe is nothing special, it's not worth a lot.

If that safe was on craigslist and I really wanted it, I would offer the seller a realistic price of $1000 to $1500 if I really really really was in love with it.
I can only imagine shipping this beast would be close to $5000, so if you need a safe for your house in Florida, for that much money, you can get a nice modern (gently used) TL30x6 safe with Group 1 locks for that price.
That old safe would only be worth bringing to Florida if you can ship it for $1000 or less and it is a family keepsake that is special to you.
These are just my opinions, I am not a professional safe appraisor.

I would agree with what has been said, us not uk made, for a chance at id closeups of wheels, hinges, dials and handles are a tremendous help on the older stuff, it is a nice, high quality unit of a time gone by.
