NOTE: This item was last sold by SCP Auctions in 2003 for $15,280 as part of the Honus Wagner Estate Collection.Can you imagine a more ideal place to store your prized T206 Honus Wagner card? For decades, Honus himself stored some his most important possessions in this floor safe. The safe was part of Wagner's estate collection received directly from the Wagner family's home in Carnegie, Pa. and sold by SCP Auctions in 2003 on behalf of Leslie Blair Wagner (granddaughter). The safe, manufactured specially for Wagner by the F.L. Norton Safe Co. of Pittsburgh, Pa., dates from the turn-of-the-century. Its dimensions are 25" high, 16"wide, 17"deep, weighing about 250 pounds. Wagner's name "J.H. Wagner" is stenciled across to top in gold paint. A decorative border is stenciled around the perimeter of the door, which also bears the manufacturers markings below the dial. The safe is in original working condition and ready to take a place of honor in your memorabilia room. This is one of the most intriguing and functional personal effects that has emerged directly from the Wagner estate. Note: buyer is responsible for exact shipping/freight charges, which could be substantial. The safe is located in the New York area and can be picked up or shipped from its present location.
