Hello and thank you for your help.
I have an old bank vault time lock, that was handed down to me. I’ve attached a couple of photos and I’m happy to answer any questions.
I appreciate any advise on the value of the time lock, as well as, any guidance on where to list it for sale. I’m familiar with ebay, but not sure if it’s the best place to sell antiques.
Once again, thank you for taking your time to help me.

Hi Kenny,
The estimated value of your Sargent and Greenleaf time lock is between $125 and $250 dollars. I had to consult with my dad on this one. He said time locks in general sell in the $125 to $500 dollar range depending on the model and number of movements. Your model only has two movements so is less sought after.
The Sergant and Greenleaf name brings a lot of memories back for me. My dad would take to one or two lock shows every year back in the 1980’s. The owner of Sargent and Greenleaf was always at one of those lock shows, I think it was in Chicago at that time. The Sargent and Greanleaf company is a great brand and I would think brings value to your piece.
As far as the best place to sell it. I would save at a lock show but that’s probably not practical. It really boils down to how quickly you want to get rid of it. eBay is great for quick sales, a huge amount of viewers every day visit, but many are looking for good deals. eBay’s fees are slightly high, but worth it if you want to sell quickly. We offer a completely free service to sell your antiques here on antiques navigator. Are fees are zero, you just pay PayPal there share and that’s it, but don’t expect a quick sale.

I wanted to thank you for your help concerning the time lock. I had no idea what to price the item, so I put it on ebay at a starting price of $250 and it sold at $378.
Do you know where I can get help with pricing for early 1900’s records? I have a Victrola that is filled with a bunch of old records and I just happened to come across one of them that is signed by the conductor. From my preliminary research online, I know that most of these type of records aren’t worth much, but who knows, maybe I have a gem and just don’t know it yet. So, I could use some advise, are there any records I should be looking for in this collection that might be worth more? Do you know where I can look online to find a price guide or a site that is similar to yours’ that could help me figure out what I might have?
Again, thanks for your help with the time lock and for any possible advise on these old records.
Oh, I didn’t think to ask until I was about to click send, but I would also like to sell the Victrola, I can get the model and year for you later, if you want.
