This sale is for a beautiful example of a Circa 1826 Antique Hobnail Safe made by Jesse Delano & Sons of New York City. Delano was the first safe maker in the United States founded in 1824, just 2 years prior. This safe has been fully restored to its original condition. The safe retains its original fitted tiger wood interior with one drawer, and 2 original keys. This safe is the deluxe model with 2 separate locking mechanisms. Both mechanisms must be opened to allow you access to the inside of the safe. The key hole for one of the locking systems is hidden behind a false sliding hobnail. The second locking mechanism is called a \"Day Lock\". The actuator for this lock is also hidden behind a different Hobnail. Dimensions are 32\"H x 24\"W 23\"D. Weight is approx. 400 lbs. You will see other hobnail safes on , but they are either in need of full restoration or are beyond repairing. This safe needs nothing. If you have been looking for a Antique Hobnail Safe then this is the safe for you. Good luck to all potential buyers.SPECIAL NOTE: My \"Buy It Now\" price includes the palletizing, crating, and truck freight cost (carrier of my choice) to your location, to your driveway, anywhere in the lower 48 States, excluding Alaska and Hawaii.
