New acquisitions

[eastcoast 4,137]

Not an acquisition as such but now new to me. Long story short, refurbishment works going in the premises that my employer has occupied for many years and some stuff has been rediscovered. I liked this and it was jokingly (I think) destined for the skip. It is now hanging on my office wall.

That top one Really got my eye, Sid! Just something about it.

Happily, I have no earthly use for drawers though. And not a single square inch to fit anything else in here, now!

What do you value that mate ?

I used to charge to take them away because of the aggro moving them about and they were slow sellers.

I used to have anything upto 10 sitting around at any one time, most of the time they were better off in the iron mate unless they were fire proof.

Small safes sold right away but nobody really needs them these days.

Id guess ones like that picture Syd put up are as much decorative as anything.

Used to be a place over Basildon called ACD safes and he had around a thousand at any one time, used to sell him all the big stuff and vault doors and stuff like that because he was kitted up to move them.

We aren't sure. The sheath looks genuine but there aren't any marks on the knife
