![]() ![]() There is no way of knowing for sure, but it is probably a pretty good bet the name on the top of the safe was probably the original owner. " Not only was it an option to paint the name of the original purchaser, it was a standard practice, which is nice because the safe then retains a small chunk of history, by personalizing it. Morris, I hope to find info on this Individual or business! UPDATE#3.This is great news as well, I found this info about the name at the top of the safe, R. Update #2 I did a little gentle cleaning, looks GREAT. I was #1!!!! She also told me the safe was in an 1875 house that she owned in the 70s. ![]() I also found out that she had received 68 emails regarding the safe. later, Warner became more into the pharmaceutical world, and on his medicine bottles, small safe images can be seen!Īlso, I the woman called me back and said that she had an offer of $1000 for the safe and she wanted to know if I wanted the email so I could sell it. ![]() Warner was a salesman out of Rochester, NY that partnered with Mosler AND BAhmann. ![]() Update: I googled the name on the bottom of the safe. I will post more as I learn more, including value! This is one of my best free finds ever! Thanks to Craigslist! The serial number is early, only 4 digits, 7882. Long story short, 3 hours of grunt later, I am the owner of a Mosler & Bahmann safe, weighing in at just under 500 lbs! I looked it up and I am 90percent certain it is an 1871-1874 model, but the safe company started in 1867. 30 mins later a woman calls and says I was the first to inquire and she gave me a time when I could come pick it up. It had been listed literally 2 minutes, so I said what the heck and shot them an email. Note that serial numbers beginning with 30,000 are used on safes being manufactured at Orangeburg, SC and no longer include dash numbers. So now I find myself in this "free stuff" section, an right on the top I see "Free 1900s safe, remove it and you can have it". Prior to 1946, the numbers were referred to as handle numbers - usually stamped on the handle of the safe. There was an oven listed for free, so I obviously clicked it first, but someone had already claimed it. Well last night I was on Craigslist looking for Ovens because the house did not come with one. As some may know, I just recently bought a house. ![]()
