Todays Find, a GREAT wife!

Today's Find, a GREAT wife!

I dropped a hint to my wife a few months back that I was in need of something to hold my keeper coins and that with the amount of wheats I was finding, it couldn't be an album. I wanted something I could just "throw" them in. I was expecting a decorative jar, or box of some sort......Christmas morning found me staring at this beauty! A little TLC should have it shining again. it came with the drawer and key as well.
I have wanted one of these for a long time, just one of those items on my "gotta have before I die list!". At 30yrs old, I hope to be able to enjoy it for a LONG time. She drove over 3 hrs to get it for me....God I love her!

Can you find a Model # 0n it ?

Even though the Color isn't right,
I'm thinking Brass

Re: Today's Find, a GREAT wife!

I honestly don't know if it does, but she was told by the seller that it was in 100% working order. I still have it at her parent's house because it is over 150lbs and we didn't have the truck along. Now I need to find something to put this beast on that can hold it!

Jeff,

i'm a little confused on that....model number says 425, but that series should be brass, this thing is all silver (under the black carbon that is). Model 95 seems to fit it better, maybe a tag swap out at one point?

Jeff,

mine has the metal bottom, not wood. That is the one I found initially as well.
