Description : Small toy safe. Painted red. Safe has a button combination. The door on the front has five square wooden buttons, two of which that are fake. The other three buttons turn and when they are all in the correct position you can push up on the wooden handle and you can remove the door but it also has to be put back on the way it came off or it won't work.
Commentaires : This toy combination safe was handmade by Norman Oliver of Alberton , Prince Edward Island. Toy combination safes were popular with children, circa 1930, with the invention of television shows and comic books on a Western Theme. The story line would often include a bank robbery or two and the taking or breaking in to a safe. It was also fun to have a place to store items and be able to lock them away in a "safe" place.
