At times when any people relies over others means of safet protection, especially the banking lockers for keeping their belonging and valuable safe, there was an era people used to relied on safety vault. Long ago, I think most of the rich people owns a safety vault of their own to secure their belongings and valuables. Like the one I found deserted on the railway platform.
A safety vault is a secure space used to store and protect valuable assets, sensitive information, or important documents. An iron safe is similar container used to store valuables like jewelry, documents, and guns. lying rusty and azar, it still speaks a huge volume of their era of protection.
As it was lying, it appears to be a huge cube of iron. Too heavy from all sides. They seems to be unbreakable with strong iron layers from all sides. Iron safes can be used in homes, offices, or businesses. These can be made of thick iron or steel plates and can be designed to meet specific client requirements. Generslly People order for heavy metals for extra layer of security.
This big block of metal have a key access point as well as a gand lever. While it can be opened with a big key, it also require to turn the lever to open. An additional security for avoiding any kind of theft.
Here are few more of pics as I shot them while waiting at the railway station.
From a distance it appears to be a heavy cuboid block of iron, but on closer inspection it looks to be a safety vault and appears to be jammed and dusted being so old. It must belongs to the railway department. And now it get discarded. It still have many life left.
