Strongbox (2) - Steel

An attractive set of two heavy, matching European sheet steel document and cash boxes (geldkisten / kassetten), weighing over 8.1 kg combined. Featuring identical dimensions and classic 1930s heavy steel construction, this pair offers two distinct exterior finishes:
1. Box 1 (Engine-Turned / Industrial Patina): Features a distinctive circular engine-turned (bouchonné) swirl pattern across the metal exterior, giving it a strong industrial look with an aged patina.
2. Box 2 (Deep Forest Green): Finished in a dark forest-green enamel with a subtle micro-textured glaze, remaining in clean, well-preserved condition.

Both boxes feature solid top folding drop handles and retain their original, vibrant bright-red lacquered interiors—a traditional European design detail used in safe-making to prevent rust and provide clear contrast for stored valuables.
