This is a Genuine Wells Fargo piece from circa 1880-1910. The box is all hand crafted by a professional blacksmith and made very well, because it was used to hold valuables, gold, and currency. This is a true Wells Fargo box from this distinct time period. The box would not have had the embellishments to make it stand out, as this would have drawn attention for thieves. The box was used thru the 1920's-1940's and repainted for use, but overall a very rare and collectible piece. The front reads, "RY EXP AGY LOSL." Comes with the key and does work. The inside was painted, but the locking mechanism is in working condition. The handles were broken, but kept and come with the box. Would make a great place to keep collectible currency. Measures 13.25" tall and 12"x20"
