Ok, I have had this for around 15 years, with the intent of fixing it up and using it. We'll too many other projects. Anyone have any idea what this is worth or were to sell it? It's a Halls Safe from Halls safe and Lock co , Cincinnati. I think from late 1800's.

 

I have no idea but if you took it to a store that sells safes I bet they could. Kool safe.... Tedd

 

the best resource for pricing on the planet is ebay,,i cant see your pics..but heres a list for sale

completed auctions are what i look at..i dont care what they are listed for..what they actually sold for is what i want to know

Hundred bucks or so, and shipping will be a beeeeeeyatch.

 

Why can't you see the pics? Cuz I can't open them either. How is it done?

 

i dont know, a week or so ago, it started..sometimes they are there..mostly not..i just havent try to figure it out..

 

Thats really cool. I'd love to find an old safe like that. I collect vintage silver bullion and something like this would be perfect for me.

 

here are a couple on craigslist

in Dayton OH - HALL's SAFE Co. 24x36x23 1906 $500 https://dayton.craigslist.org/for/5964048500.html

in Carlisle OH - HALL's SAFE Co. 29x42x29 $500 https://dayton.craigslist.org/atq/5980540222.html

 

Not as much as you might think. People have gotten away from there old charm so to speak because there so heavy. Sold one pretty close to that one but had a non original dial I got $300 and that was shopping it around. Finally a guy agreed to give me $300 only if I delivered it and put it in his locksmith store window. Not sure it was worth it what a pain in the *** it was to get it there. But it's always worth what someone will pay. The problem is the someone's are hard to find. Good luck maybe it has a history.

 

Here are a couple of more pictures. The Craigslist pictures, I think are from the 1879 patent, which Hall produced safes until the 1930's, I think. The one I have is an earlier model, from 1850-1879 from I have read from the internet. And yes, It's not the easiest to move. I would hate to have to ship it.

 

how big is it & what's it weigh?

 

X 2 Shipping is really going to hurt the value

 

Measurements
Ext 21"x21"x 32"h
Int 12"w x 16.5"h x 11" d

Weight: Heeeaavy!

I am guessing 250-ish lbs. Maybe 300. It's on iron castors, but they do not swivel. As long as going in straight line on a good surface it moves fairly easily.

 

I just left one of these in my old house, as I had no way to get it out of the basement, and really nowhere to put it in my new house. I hate to think that I left $300-500 behind.

 

That's something you don't see everyday. GLWS.

 

In my area they go for around $500 like that and in working condition. They sell quick around here on Craigslist if they are priced correct.
