I have a safe manufactured by Gary Safe Co Buffalo, NY dated 1921. It stands about 6 feet tall and has two combinations. Would you know its approximate value and where I might be able to find a buyer for it? Thanks, George
Answer George,
Your safe is not a "Gary" safe. It is a "Cary" safe.
I'll need more pictures of your safe to evaluate it. I need full exterior/interior pics, and detail photos of the dials, handles, hinges, castors, locks, boltwork, art work and any special details.
