a heavy-duty, fire-resistant safe made by the Milners Safe Co., a Liverpool-based company founded in 1830 known for patented designs and supplying safes to Titanic passengers. These antique safes often featured solid cast iron construction and used the "212 patent" fire-resistant mixture to protect contents. Safes from this company can still be found today, sometimes used as antique furniture or for practical storage, though they require specialized knowledge to open if the key or combination is lost.
