This piece has intentionally been left in its found condition and has not been cleaned or polished, allowing the buyer to preserve the original aged patina or clean/polish it according to their preference.
Condition: Good vintage condition with age-appropriate patina, surface wear and oxidation. The glass over the number insert has a chip along the upper edge on the reverse side, as shown in the close-up photo. The number display remains intact and presents well from the front. The alphabet dial turns and the mechanism moves; however, the original combination is unknown, so the lock is being sold as-is and has not been tested with the correct combination.
Please review all photographs carefully as they are an important part of the description. Vintage items may show imperfections and signs of previous use that contribute to their character. NOTE - the first two photos are AI enhanced for styling inspiration.
A wonderful piece for a postal collector, vintage office display, industrial decor, or a one-of-a-kind DIY keepsake box or bank.
