Strongbox (2) - Steel

A remarkable pair of heavy-gauge sheet steel security cash boxes / portable safes, including an example bearing the maker's plaque "BEAUMONT". Both caskets feature classic engine-turned / guilloché circular swirl and border patterns on their bare-metal steel exteriors, robust top drop-handles, and rich deep-red enameled interiors. Both boxes are fitted with functional lever mortise locks, operate smoothly, and come complete with their respective original keys. The larger box retains its original removable marbled-red compartmented coin/banknote cash tray insert (geldlade). Key Details & Features: Manufacturer / Brand: Beaumont (branded plaque on the interior lid of the larger box) Period: Circa 1930s – 1960s (Mid-Century / Industrial Office Heritage) Origin: Western Europe (likely France / Belgium / Netherlands) Materials: Heavy-gauge steel, red lacquered interior, marbled composite/plastic coin tray, steel keys Locking Mechanism: Working single-throw key lock mechanisms on both boxes, each with its matching key included. Finish: Engine-turned geometric swirl/guilloché surface texturing on the exterior metal with classic crimson-red painted interiors. Specifications & Breakdown: 1. Large Cash Box (Beaumont) Dimensions: 30 cm (W) × 20 cm (D) × 11 cm (H) Weight: 3,910 g (approx. 3.91 kg) Features: Original interior "Beaumont" star logo badge, 5-compartment removable curved coin & note tray insert, 1 working key. 2. Medium Cash Box Dimensions: 25 cm (W) × 18 cm (D) × 10 cm (H) Weight: 2,845 g (approx. 2.85 kg) Features: Full open interior storage, ribbed cast handle, decorative exterior engine turning, 1 working key. Combined Total Weight: 6,755 g (approx. 6.75 kg) Condition: Mechanics: Excellent working condition. Both locks operate smoothly with their dedicated keys. Aesthetics: Untouched authentic vintage patina. The exteriors show honest age-appropriate oxidation, surface marks, and wear to the clear lacquering, giving them a sought-after industrial/steampunk aesthetic. Interiors remain clean with bright red enamel. Shipping & Packaging: Due to the substantial combined weight (nearly 7 kg), the lot will be packed securely in a heavy-duty reinforced shipping box with ample protective cushioning. Shipped fully insured with tracking number.
