Spectacular and showy cast iron strongbox. The box has loads of eye appeal for any collector, one of the best we've ever seen. 18.5 x 13 x 12" Cast iron, rivets, brass handles with stops. On the top plate "Wells Fargo & Co. Express Goldfield Nev" in gold. We believe this box was made about 1960, and was made as a museum display piece. One of the giveaways is that there are bolts attaching the handles sticking out on the inside which would have torn open bags of gold. The box comes with a strongbox style lock and key, both of which have been marked Wells Fargo & Co. The key is a reproduction made to look old and the markings on the key hasp are not consistent with the embossed locks that Wells Fargo issued. As one of the most attractive treasure boxes you'll ever see, this box is worthy of your collection because of its strong visual eye appeal.
