That is a typical Herring fire safe from the 1870’s - 80’s. I never see them around Cleveland but that doesn’t mean a whole lot. Silas Herring started making fire safes in the 1840’s but by the time you safe was made, Frank Herring and John Farrel were running the show. Herring (New York and their sister company Farrel of Philadelphia) merged with Hall (Cincinnati) and Marvin (New York) to become Herring- Hall- Marvin in the 1890’s. HHM became a giant in the banking world along with Diebold, Mosler, and York. HHM was later bought out by Diebold. I wouldn’t put that as a high value collectable safe, but with its distinctive hinges and bold lettering in a restored condition, there is definitely a market for it. Doug
