Accurate Description of Item
One Turn of 19th Century Hall Company Safe
Appraiser Remarks
Based on the markings your safe dates after 1895 . Joseph L. Hall began producing safes in 1846 and founded Hall's Safe & Lock Co. in 1848. The company sold 50,000 of its safes by 1872, when it was producing 15 to 20 a day. In 1892, the company merged with two other companies to form the Herring-Hall & Marvin Safe company.
Two of Joseph's sons went with the merger but after several years they broke off and formed the Hall's Safe Company, your safe was made by this new company.
In the current market there is not much demand for safes like this, their weight makes them difficult to transport and they are often sold in the local market for that reason most comparable safes tend to sell in the $350.00- $500.00 range
