What is the secret to keep safe in 1930?
One guy decided to crack the safe that was in the garage of his cousin for many years. As he says, that the safe would not open one generation, but the one who was going to open it died.

At first we tried grinding machine

Safe did not yield ... We decided sandblasted ...
We cut a piece out and spilled something white. We tightened. After reading on the internet we realized it, or asbestos, but most likely it was cast.
Safety first

Inside there was a tree ...

There's something inside ...

Papers and letters ...
Jewelry ...
Former bracelet
It seems everything ... But there was still a small metal box

What's inside ...
Pendant from Naples
Medallion unmarked
The tiny figure of ivory
I have no idea what it ...
...
The emblem of something on the front side
BFOE ???
Detail from something ...
Decorative thimbles

We have read those papers, which were in the safe. Some of them date back to the 1920th year. A bunch of Italian manuscripts, stamps emigration. We also found the tickets from Naples to New York, dated August 1922.. Surname as confirmed grandmother belonged to our ancestors. The most recent paper dated 1956. Gradually, the story emerges. Giovanni and Vittoria were from well-to-do families in Naples, probably a family of landowners (by an expensive ticket). They either met or would like to get married. They planned to move to America. They made their journey in 1922, and married in New York. They took a mortgage and rented premises. Apparently, during the Great Depression, they feel very good. But no one knows what happened after 1956 ... I suppose that one of them died and one who was sold rental properties ... That's the story ...
