Ultra Rare Circa 1834 Unrestored George W. Cross of Philadelphia Dog House Safe. This 191 year old safe is a remarkable find in its original unrestored state. The thing that makes it ultra rare is not only its condition, but also its size and its weight. This safes dimensions are 43"H x 25"W x27"D and weighs in at 1,000 - 1,100 lbs.

This is a pristine example of an extremely rare true salesman sample of a complete Corliss Vault door with complete vestibule, inner doors and security gate circa 1880's.The things that make this example so rare and unique is 1. the manufacturer is Corliss, 2. completeness, and 3. it's original condition. The safe retains all it's original graphics. The construction is cast iron, polished brass, and polished nickle. The door has very rare skeleton bolt work inside the door also in polished nickle.The security gate is polished nickle also. All mechanics function properly. The safe has a poloished wood base which acts as a cantilever so when the door is opened the safe stays upright, counterbalancing for the weight of the door. I believe it is the rareest salesman sample out there.
