Herring Hall Marvin Safe with key lock

By turnermom4, 17 March, 2011
Description

We found this old safe in a house we were cleaning out.  We don't know anything about it, and would love to find out more, as well as an approximate value (or where I could go in the Austin, TX area to have appraised).  The only marks I can see on the safe are the name of the company (Herring Hall Marvin Safe Co).  And then under it i can see some numbers beginning with 194.  I don't know if this is the beginning of a date from the 1940's or a part of a serial number or what?  Any information you can provide would be great!
