Description
My brother recieved this safe when he moved into his home since the owners did not want to go through the hassle of taking it with them. To start off it has the name GEO. F. ABBOTT AG'T on it along with our location which is Pottsville, PA . Neither of us know much about it, however I did come across an article online about a larger 1-ton safe with the same name so i assume they are connected . Here is the link http://www.tnonline.com/2014/apr/04/one-heavy-decision
the interesting thing is that i cannot find a single thing about Geo. F. Abbot. There are a few people with that name but none that show any ties to pottsville yet it appears on both safes . Any info would be appreciated
