Excellent Looking Antique Victor Safe & Lock Co. Interior Safe Door Panel with Patent Dates on Slate fifth edition Wizard of Oz And a nice mix ofA little research tells me this was the interior panel on the door of a Victor safe, last decade 19th century. I just thought think it's a great looking thing, to hang as a sign of sorts now, with a sort of trompe l'oeil aspect to the "silent" slate bearing the years of patents in a calligraphic font. Graphically satisfying, an icon of safe keeping, and somehow it all feels a bit Duchampian to me. And of course I love a school slate! 13 15 16" x 8 7
