Although this is not really related I thought it may be of some interest - my grandfather recently passed away and among the many items he left behind I inherited a very solid and heavy safe.  The safe was made by a company from West Bromwich and I am trying to understand it's history and possible value - what is interesting though is that it has a sticker on the inside identifying a company called Rymer Thompsons as the supplier.

They appear to be a company in Hull and called themselves Office and Home furnishers - is this related to your family and do you have any info of when this company traded etc?

Hi Mark,

Sorry its taken me so long to write back to you, been very busy.

I asked my dad when the Rymer Thompson would of had the auction house in hull and he cant remeber the exact dates but it would of been around 1880's - 1920's ish!  I've only ever seen a picture of the outside of the auction house, we couldn't tell you where it was or anything like that.  Hope the dates help you a little.

Hi there, I'm amazed to find this site with the info i have found on here i can now kind of pin point where my friends safe came from.. I so far have found out William rymer thompson supplied the safe and that William had an auctioneer in hull between the 1940-s and 1950s. I would like to find out more as we would like to value the safe as we have been told it is over 100 years old and it would also help if anyone has any pictures of the auctioneer house and William himself  :) Any info much appreciated and i will also post any pics i come across and a pic of my friends safe shortly!
