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 isreclaimed. I got some walnut from a friend who is good a getting wood from trees being cut down or downed in storms. He shared some of the pieces he couldn't use. It's really beautiful and has distinctive grain. Most significant is the back which is a piece of walnut burl. It's an eye catcher. You'll want to display this where it can be seen from all sides. I’ve worked with the wood as I found it.
