I recently acquired an old Macey safe.

It is about 24" x 28" x 60" and military green in color.

The safe is not heavy (maybe 200-300 lbs.) and is well constructed.

While I may use it for a gun safe to keep prying little hands off my
guns, I seriously doubt it would slow a determined robber.

The questions I have a

- Does anyone have any links to Macey, their history and their
products? I am coming up with nothing.

- Because the safe is so light, I assume that it is a fire safe (I
would like confirmation on that). The space between the exterior and
interior walls is about 2". Other fire safes that I have been around
have been very heavy because of the fireproofing material in the safe.
Why isn't this safe as heavy? A different and much lighter material?

- Finally, what is a safe like this worth?

I would also be interested in links to sites where one can learn more
about older safes and locks...it looks like an interesting subject.

Finally, as I consider this safe to be more of a locked box than a real
safe, what would you recommend for safekeeping of firearms and other
valuable trinkets.

Thanks
