Restored to a customers specification.
This safe was chosen from my stock and the customer wanted a classic design close to original colours These safes are very well built and always look special when finished due to the hand painted logos.
History: George Price of Wolverhampton ran one of Victorian Britain’s best‑known safe‑making firms, noted for fire‑ and thief‑resistant safes and a long industrial life under his name.
• Around 1840: George Price establishes his safe‑making business in Wolverhampton, later trading as the Cleveland Safe and Lock Works and specialising in wrought‑iron fire‑ and thief‑proof safes for bankers and jewellers.
• 1850s–1870s: He develops patented “fire and thief proof” safes, promotes them through public tests and exhibitions, and becomes a prominent rival to other major makers such as Milner, even attracting national attention through highly publicised gunpowder tests.
• Late 19th–early 20th century: The firm continues as George Prices Safe Co., supplying safes, strong‑room doors and steel shelving to banks and insurance companies, before eventually being absorbed into larger Wolverhampton engineering groups in the 20th century.

Please note: Safes of this age, approximately 100years old will show signs of their age and build, even after our restoration. We believe each safe has its own character, and thats what makes them special. If you purchase one of our safes, its not a NEW safe, they were built without modern tools, you will see imperfections, ie. the hinges are metal on metal (no bearings) so they may squeak and some may scratch some paintwork at the bottom hinge.
