Unfortunately it is not mine. It weighs about 18 lbs. The body is ¼″ and the door ¾″. It took me a while to realize that the normally center hung crane hinge was offset to allow room for the dial. As it is, it is awkward dialing the comb. Identifying the maker is difficult. The original dial was missing and the bolt work handle broken off. Only the dial ring was still on, so the new dial and ring size were based on that. Inside the lock, everything was missing except for 2 aluminum wheels mounted on the rear cover, which I now realize I forgot to take a picture of. Why aluminum was used confounds me and if they are originaI, I would date the chest to the early 1900’s. I based the inside part sizes from these wheels. It appears that a third wheel may have been used, but given the difficulty of dialing and the fact that so many parts were missing, leads me to believe the lock had serious problems from the start. Making the roller bolt lock functional has been a real challenge. So was it supposed a S&G lock? Or possibly a Diebold?
