This page is to serve as an information resource for collectors, historians, and anyone else who may be curious about The Automatic Recording Safe Company.
I do not know the value of these banks and do not actively collect them, but have seen prices range from $1 to $145. The deciding factor, like every other antique or collectible, is what somebody will pay for it.
My original desire to create this website was from the interest of people at http://www.fantiques.com. You can still find much more helpful information and people at the link to their website.
Information on Home Safe history and collecting.
Mike Grobbel’s webpage with information on his safe and how to pick that model.
A Collector’s Weekly post on the safes.
More information coming soon!
I have created a public photo album, on Facebook, in response to the many inquiries I’ve received due to my May 2007 Fantiques.com posting. Copy and paste the entire link below into your browser… starts with “http://” and ends with “type=1″
