<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Shangas, post: 30670, member: 360&quot;]I picked this up at a local flea-market from a guy who was clearing out his garage (and who didn&#039;t want to lug it back home, so I got it for cheaps).</p><p><br /></p><p>It was made in Japan during the 1920s or 30s (30s seems more likely, given the number of Patent numbers on it). This amazing little toy is a double-dial alarm-trigger cashbox. It requires both the key, and the combination, to access it. It has space for banknotes, gold, silver, checks etc. And a tamper-proof mechanical alarm which prevents the box from being moved or carried without the alarm going off, once it&#039;s been set.</p><p><br /></p><p>The alarm also rings whenever the box is opened.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xpf1/v/t1.0-9/10580223_1501416113450203_2889944981314826622_n.jpg?oh=d57f909552cf5127b31d0ddcd5976183&amp;oe=550B9CCB&amp;__gda__=1430694388_141cee230e9cb066e5343f29338a14e5" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xap1/v/t1.0-9/946868_1501326923459122_7446864527853968092_n.jpg?oh=554e7bae07c42fcc7fc783af52b84df2&amp;oe=550F1944&amp;__gda__=1426331405_0345c1965fc4ab65d422df7f590562dd" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xpa1/v/t1.0-9/15788_1501415260116955_1490883240371318310_n.jpg?oh=b0af0f357ac1b14be471fab189295ad3&amp;oe=550B63E7&amp;__gda__=1426421605_5bc8fdd7df582d2612c6fdab31cab4c5" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://scontent-b-hkg.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpf1/v/t1.0-9/10006237_1501326966792451_3394231817813320210_n.jpg?oh=ee67b1f77d03c6645c6e6105caad40ba&amp;oe=55189A09" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The box is in perfect working condition. The key you see down the bottom there is to wind up the alarm bells. The switch above the key sets the alarm. Pushing it back turns it on. Pushing it forwards turns it off.</p><p><br /></p><p>The cashbox is the EXACT same size as my campaign desk:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xpa1/v/t1.0-9/10439013_1502158646709283_8226236921116255313_n.jpg?oh=ddabc30d3e4e94a798c09b04b4874af4&amp;oe=554721A6&amp;__gda__=1426276044_5b83c5476a58ab8a48b9762ae944e610" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>What are the chances of that, huh!?</p><p><br /></p><p>Is this strongbox cool? Yes. Is it secure? Probably. Is it rare? Definitely not. In fact I have a family friend who actually owns another one of these. He let me take a picture of it, and here it is:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xap1/v/t1.0-9/10635797_1501407796784368_7750814656860111390_n.jpg?oh=7cea5136ea4195b4174ab7a2ba5fa8de&amp;oe=550BE61A&amp;__gda__=1426360867_c255d6a7b2e93c17aaccabcccc5635fb" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
