Just 1 Diebold Out Of The Whole Section Of Antique Combination Locks
This book has a lot of nice colored pictures of combination locks for each of the many manufactures of the time but yet out of the whole section based on combination locks, it only had 1 picture of a Diebold combination lock and this lock isn't even a common one used in their antique safes. Keep in mind that Diebold was 1 of the top if not the top manufacture of floor safes and bank vault doors which is still in business today and their antique safe's are more often valued over other manufactures... so why not include more pictures of their antique safe lock?. Bottom line, if you need references for Diebold combination locks, keep looking somewhere else unless you are looking for references on Diebold time locks and such...this book had quite a few of them and were very interesting.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
