$94.00

This Post Office Door was made by Keyless Lock circa 1920. It's almost a true antique. It's made of cast bronze and features a flying eagle on a sunburst background. It's opened with a 3 digit combination which is taped to the bottom of the bank.

There is a coin slot in the top and the bank is about 5 inches wide, 6 inches high and 4 1/4 inches deep.It's a perfect gift for anyone, any age. Teach a child to save. Help an adult relive their past.The door is made of bronze. All of the doors I use in these banks had many years of service in a Post Office. Many of them are over 100 years old. I've rebuilt them, cleaned off the grime and got the locks working smoothly. They are true works of art deco. I use number decals that were surplused from the Post Office to put the numbers in the windows.

Like with most of the wood I use this wood is reclaimed. The cabinet is made with old growth oak. I got this wood from a local mill that had the beams from a wooden rail road trestle Some quick research indicates that they haven't made trestles out of oak since around 1900. I imagine the trees were more than 100 years old when they were cut down over 100 years ago. I think the wood qualifies as old growth. They were milling the beams to make flooring and shared with me the mill ends. I’ve worked with the wood as I found it. I'm sure you'd agree this wood should have gone to the landfill.
