What year was this safe from?

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’m including pictures of the safe. It was my grandparents. I’d like to find out what year it was made. It only has Farrel & co on the safe. So was this before 1869? I know they merged in 1861 but used their own names until 1869. Any help would be awesome

I am only guessing but probably 1865 to 1869.

Thanks, I was thinking the same thing since it only has one name on it.

I found this under the drawer this morning. I’m thinking the H19 may have been herring patten number. Ans it may say Farrell’s above it. It’s the best picture I could get.
