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!

Hello, Hope someone can help as I have inherited a PO Box "Coin Bank" however I am not able to determine the sequence after exhausting Google search. I have identified the Box Door to be a "1906 Keyless Lock Company" and is the Brass Flying Eagle with one dial consisting of numbers 1-8. I have a "sticker" on the bottom of the bank with a three digit combo, but I do not know the sequence. Here is a link to a photo of the same door: https://i.etsystatic.com/5232831/r/il/dfcd47/1961805781/il_794xN.1961805781_l062.jpgAny suggestions? Best Regards, Daniel

Thanks Squelchtone - I saw that video but it is a different lock (Grecian) and mine pre-dates it. I was able to find the patent on Google and then used an endoscope to watch the escapement until I got it open. The last two digits of the combo were reversed so it wasn't the sequence I was needing - it was the correct code!
Have a great weekend...
Daniel
