    These mailbox units have been in my grandfathers garage for as long as I can remember. He got them from a nurses college dormatory over 40 years ago. I have always loved the mechanics and solid brass construction of them. He recently gave them to me and I am curious if anyone can tell me 2 things.
    1. How can I get lock combination information
    2. What would be an overall value of these units to a collector
    The doors are all bress and the boxes are made of solid oak with dovetail joinery. the back of the boxes still have the names of the nurses that last used them. I think they are very cool and I would love some feedback from anyone.
