Found this safe in a auction....Gawd it's 500lbs...was'nt looking forward
to calling my husband and telling him he had to come and get this thing in my van. Well he came and he was'nt too upset....lol....anyways, antique safes is another one of my antique and vintage loves....it's a really cool safe and I have the combo and all. Very interesting story behind the Herring Hall Marvin Safe Co, it has a decal inside that says "not to be confused with Herring Hall Marvin".....oh yeah they all had some big court battle and well I wish I knew the rest of the story lol. Great safe though, i'd like to see a thief try and pick this thing up...30"x 24" but about 500lbs.....
Nice one!!!
you know who would luv this,Jerrod on "storage wars"
Hi - Great safe. It looks very close to one I recently purchased. Is the name on the dail YALE? Also, could you post a picture of the front of the day door? The safe I purchased had the lock of the day door drilled out, and I have had a VERY difficult finding the replacement lock. As a matter of fact your safe is the ONLY one I have found online with the day door lock intact--congratulations!
Thanks,

FABULOUS!!!
I just acquired one of these exact safes and was wondering if anyone had information on it. It says on the inside of the door "not associated with Herring- Hall- Marvin." I cannot find anything on Google at all.
I know this is an old thread but if anyone is still here and interested The Hall Safe company was handed to Joseph Hall’s son (Edward I believe) after his death and a few years later sold to a group of 5 contributors creating the Herring -Hall- Marvin Safe Co. As far as the court battles I’m not sure completely about those but that company was bought by Diebold and they may have someone who can answer those questions. They are still in Business today.
