Description
Canadian. 1880s to early 1900s. Cast iron. The A. Ahern Safe Company was established in Montreal in the 1880s and was known for making superior quality safes.

Lock has a patent date of October 2, 1888, representing the date the lock was patented and not the date of the safe. An excellent and hard to find safe. Combination is affixed on reverse. Marked "A. Ahern Montreal Safe Works" on front. 27" x 17" x 17". From a Private Quebec Collection.
