Lips Dordrecht Steel Bank Safe Box - Strongbox - Steel

A beautiful and authentic Lips Dordrecht steel bank safe box, dating from circa 1950 and formerly used by ABN AMRO bank in the Netherlands. This impressive piece of Dutch banking heritage was manufactured by Lips of Dordrecht, one of the Netherlands’ renowned manufacturers of safes, vaults and security equipment. Lips products are particularly sought after for their robust construction, distinctive industrial design and connection with Dutch banking history. Lips bank safes of this type were used by multiple banks in the Netherlands; this particular example comes from ABN AMRO. The box features its original Lips maker’s plaque, substantial steel construction, reinforced edges, original hinges, carrying handle and characteristic brass-coloured hardware.
