Daed... Yes they did sell stuff off. And if a branch has closed... call the main office and ask. If the main has closed, look em up on the web and find someone who is "in charge." Serious.... my Mrs works for a Credit Union. She's the one who taught me this trick. lol... in fact.... she's taught me LOTS of tricks....

Well, checked out the Chinesium low end Liberty 'safe' at Cabela's yesterday. It looks like a nice piece from the outside, there just isn't much to it. In all honesty it would fill the bill for keeping grandkid fingers off of the bang switches.
Tomorrow I will be checking out a used Gardall fire/security safe. The price is right, it has surface rust and does not look 'pretty'. Maybe I will come home with a project - who knows?

The small Gardall model 1511 (used) was the wining candidate. I'll take some before and after photos when I start the cleanup. It's actually a lot better looking in person than it looked like in the Craigslist ad.
I couldn't pull off the Da level of a deal, but it was 'more than reasonable'.Thanks for the input, guys.l

I have a Liberty, which is a fantastic safe. That being said, I wish I would have know about Cannons at the time. Their warranty blows Liberty's away......or at least used to. At one time they paid shipping both ways if it had to go back to the factory.

The winner was: None of the above!
It is not ideal but the price was very right. A fair amount of the crud and some of the surface rust came off with 0000 steel wool. I may tweak it a bit more in the future but, for now, it's good to go.
Here are quick before and after shots: BEFORE CLEANING  AFTER CLEANING
