Should weigh quite a bit so please bring help to load! From the web: The Victor Safe & Lock Company was a prominent American safe manufacturer founded in Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1885. Known for its durable iron and cast-iron safes, the company operated until 1927 when it was acquired by Remington-Rand (Rand Kardex). Today, these 100+ year-old safes remain popular antiques.History: The company patented multiple locking mechanisms and was well-known in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Their 1910 trade catalogs were famous for showcasing heavy-duty safes and strongboxes.Antique Value: Surviving models often weigh anywhere from 150 lbs to over 350 lbs. In the collectors' market, restored or un-restored working antique units regularly sell for anywhere between $300 to $3,000+ depending on condition, pinstriping, and whether the combination is still known.Because the original company was dissolved nearly a century ago, historical catalogs and archived records are preserved at institutions such as the Cincinnati & Hamilton County Public Library. If you are trying to crack or find keys for an inherited antique, local antique dealers and historical collectors on forums provide the best community resources for tracking down original combinations or operating manuals.
