George Price safes don't come up that often, usually in good condition as they are very well built. This one was in family for many yeas and is in good shape, it even has its original keys. We restored one similar to this a while back No.051
We have added a design to give you an idea of what this little gem could look like after a restoration.
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.
