I found a local guy with two 1930's safes for $350, they are in good mechanical condition but need new paint, one the combo is unknown but locked open, the other has the locking mechanism disassembled but the parts are there, also open. They are 26"x20"x20", with the caster wheels on they are 31" high. Interior they are 18"x12"x13". I want to buy these, refinish the exteriors, get the locks working, maybe try my hand at some gold leaf, and use these as end tables in my living room. The guy says the safes are 400-500 lbs a piece, I would make some hardwood footings for them so the casters are hidden and so they don't mess up my hardwood floors. I think I might see how much it would cost for professional movers to get them for me, I know I can get a uhaul trailer and furniture dolly for about $25, but I would spend $100 for someone else to move them.
Any thoughts?
