The people on this board always amaze me with their wide range of knowledge. After reading Gary's posts about safes I got to thinking about an old safe I have. I think it was my great grandfather's. The safe is made of steel and concrete and is on metal casters. The outside is about a 2 foot cube but the inside is small with 3 small shelves big enough to hold 1 box of checks per shelf and a taller copartment along side that can hold some larger envelopes (8" x 11") or so. For years the safe sat and was never used because we didn't have the 'key'. It was open but you needed the key to lock it. I found the key one day and now I can use it. The key is not the usual key. It is a brass bar with 5 or 6 pins of various lengths sticking out one edge. The bar is about 1 - 1.25" and the pins are at most 3/8" long. To lock or unlock the safe you have to stick the bar into a slot in the dial and turn the dial. Clockwise unlocks it and counterclockwise locks it. Are any of you familiar with this type of lock? I would like to get a spare key made but I don't know if it has to be part brass or why if it does or who could make one. Any comments appreciated.
Phil

You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
