Old Mosler Bank Vault .... Scrap or Value ?

The company i work for just bought this old bank property just south of Detroit. it has a great vault in it. They say we are going to take it out with the demo and the interior remodel. When i looked at it, I was blown away by how well built the vaults were way back then. I kind of laughed and said “ya just bust it out of there and drag it out and cut it up no problem” I think they have no idea what they are in for. I cant wait to see the demo process. Anyway have any of you here seen such a demo and am i right to think they are in way over there heads ? here is some photos of it. sorry they are not real good for i was using my phone. I will be back in the building in a few weeks and will get better photos. as well i will be able to take photos of the demo as it happens. I am trying to get them to let me do a time lapse of the whole remodel. we’ll see.

Interesting thread, thanks for posting maindog. I ran across the patent long ago when I was contracted to open one.
