York Lock and Safe Company Bank Vault Combination Lock circa late 1800's/early 1900's

Description

Lock is quite heavy for it's size. There is a "star" type mark above the zero. Number 219 on tumbler (?) that shows on the side of inner workings of lock. Also an indentation under the numbers. Looks to be all brass except maybe the circular feature on the back, which looks to be maybe stainless steel. Not silver because it isn't tarnished. Found one old safe online with exact lock that identified this as a bank vault combination lock.
