Old safe

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!

I have a old safe. Sargent and greenleaf combo. Safe is from 1800’s. Hasn’t been open in 40 years it’s has a double door on front. I bought a building that was an old oldmobile dealership. Front has been painted over as it was built into a wall. It has wheels. I am guessing it weight 3500lbs. I can get pics. Any idea on how to open it. I would love use it for nostalgia purposes. As I already have two other big gun safes. Thanks you. Brian

Pics would be great to see. But keep in mind we dont discuss opening safes in the public forum.
