I thought some might like to see these old safes that were inside the vault of an old bank. I detected the lot after the bank was torn down and found these coins. Thanks
I did... Interesting... i have never seen ones like that before.
Wish you have more and better pictures.
Thanks though.

Three nice coins. I'd continue to hunt that lot as much as they will let you. Those round safes are cool...never seen anything like it. Just one question, Is that the locking mechanism on the exterior of the vault door or some sort of hinge system? Cool post!

I'd love to have one of those old Mosler's and with the doors open, the combo can be changed, if unknown. Are they for sale or sold?
Fan DIME tastic on the tectin finds and get back out there.

I was told they were sold at auction.

I’m not really sure. That door was really amazing. The top of the door on the inside had The Mosler Safe Co. on it. I thought all of it was really cool.

Inside the bank in the 1920’s. If you look behind the man wearing the vest you can see the inside of the vault door. The same door as the picture posted earlier. The last picture was on a building next to the bank.
