What was in the safe

I’m not gonna pretend to know a ton about the subject. But I know a little from knowing antiques dealers. Apparently the most valuable safes are rather ornate outside. And bear the logos of particular companies. Either the company that made it or the company that used it. So a relatively normal safe marked “Wells Fargo” can be worth more than a complicated safe with no markings.

Rob’s isn’t that. But it is around the right size, and at least a little complicated inside. 2nd door, multiple drawers/cubbies. And the safe cracker described the main lock thusly:

Depending on what he meant by unusual and what exact lock it is that could mean its something sort of rare. Which is the sort of thing that bumps up valuations on this nonsense.

Despite know that sort of general BS. I have no clue what these things are actually worth in working shape. Though they are fucking expensive in antique shops near here where old tchotchkes are massively inflated.
