They typically weigh from about 70 to 100 pounds – a thief could walk away with one, but at least he couldn’t run with it. Some folks claim these are salesman’s samples but most were actually sold to be used for storage of cash and jewelry in a home or office.
They are too small to be very functional, but cute as decorations or conversation pieces.
Most of these safes are from about 13” to 18” tall. I have been collecting small antique safes for a long time, but I have been informed that it is time to thin out the collection.

If you plan to keep your gun safe, or any kind of safe, in a garage, ask a safe expert for advice. We recommend using a Dry Rod, Golden Rod or even a light bulb inside gun safes to moderate temperature swings. Some kind of heart source inside the old Diebold would have minimized damage by keeping it from getting so cold. Gun vaults left in unheated environments can be damaged the same way. This kind of moisture is also bad for safe locks.

Just like freezing water trapped in tiny crevasses will crack the surfaces of rocks or concrete, it will crack old paint. But when temps plummeted again the paint was further damaged. That water by itself will slightly damage the beautiful artwork.
Warm damp air created so much condensation on the cold safe that water was running down the safe’s surface. Our snow all melted in about two days, making the air very humid. Likewise, when temps quickly warmed up to 55 degrees, it took time for it to warm up again. It took days for this 4000# antique safe to drop completely down to these temps. We recently suffered through a cold snap during which night time temperatures went below zero every night for about a week. Pictured is a beautiful, but very massive, antique Diebold Safe. Safes and gun safes left in unheated garages or buildings are subject to problems with condensation when weather suddenly warms up.
