I had a bunch but sold them all,.. local banke put them out ..local locksmith can open it in 2 mins ...min care .. look on ebay to match yours .. and maybe find a key..made in 20's - 50's have fun..
The patent was issued in December of 1918 if that helps.
Here is a link to the patent info. Might help if you go for a locksmith to open it. This type bank also accepted paper money according to the inventor.
