My new old BAUCHE safe

Today I bought an old BAUCHE safe at an antique shop. It was not cheap but I haven’t seen another one like it. I’ve seen combo locks like this in a book or website but never in person. It works like a charm and has the two original keys. Cheers 🙂

Looks great. Now you have to be so careful of the shiny paint. That is an interesting color. I never thought of looking at old European colors to use. I cross referenced that code and it comes up as:

1964 - 1969 Fiat Medium Grey (Grigio Medio) and is exclusive to Fiat

Dupont code, IC1280 or 8308L

Ditzler PPG - 32579

Glasurit - FL-653

When I left UK, in 2000, I was getting rid of various bits and pieces. There was a guy locally who was in the trade. I took him 2 part used cans of pait. He looked underwhelmed at the gift until I told him they were an exact match for the door and carcass of the Chubb TDRs. Suddenly he could see the point in not just binning them.
