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!

Hi everyone, I had some help with how to reset the Yale Lock on this old safe and it was very much appreciated. I'm now trying to figure out what kind of safe it is and how old it is. The front is here -- https://imgbb.com/R9YrRDv -- and I've pasted some pics of the inside below.* The knob says 29-1832 but I'm not sure how to reference that number. I'm assuming that the additional numbers that were scratched into the interior were the old code. Any help would very much be appreciated! Best, Nathan * https://ibb.co/y83RHw8https://ibb.co/1XwmqzShttps://ibb.co/YB2msL8

Hi Nathan,
I think this is a Baum cast iron fire safe. The lock is a Yale OB. Dating safes is always difficult unless there is a year written on it.

Thanks, Martin.
Would the inscription on the handle have any relevance for dating the safe or is that part of the lock?
Best,
Nathan

I am sure does, but I don't know any information on how.
