Rare Antique Victorian Lakeside Home Deposit Cast Vault Safe Small Not A Toy

Description

Up for auction is a victorian small Lakeside Home Deposit Vault safe. I think it's a little too big to be considered a salesman sample. I believe these are considered Queen size safes. It would be excellent as a jewelry safe or for rare coins. These were made by the Meilink Safe Company right around the turn of the century. Safe has original paint & stencils with no touch-ups & the graphics are still quite bright. It measures about 14.5" tall 9.5" wide 8.5" minus the handle. Inside measures 6" x 6" x 10" high. This little safe is pretty heavy. It weighs about 59 lbs. The lock and key is by the Eagle Lock Company. These safes came in either combination or key entry by Eagle. There seems to be less key safes by Meilink and Eagle.
I took good pictures so you can get an idea of the overall condition.
