Description The Diebold Vault is very large with glass backing to view the inner workings of the door. The door is extremely heavy. On the locking dial and on the inner gate door, is stamped with the company name and the date of 1871. The Alpine vault is not very heavy, but is complete with the inner locking gate, which is reallly just another locking door. It is hand painted with the picture of an ocean and people (women??) on the shoreline with bundles. The name is also hand painted. I could not locate a plate with circa date.
