Landmarks: Harvey Sass, the second generation owner of Elmer & Son Locksmiths in Steger, boasts a collection of more than 900 safes, padlocks, safe deposit boxes and other artifacts.
Antique safes outside Elmer & Son Locksmiths in Steger, where a museum inside showcases hundreds of items related to the industry.
Now, the Locksmith Museum’s collection includes more than 900 items and has overflowed into the backrooms and work areas of the business. The Locksmith Museum at Elmer & Son in Steger features hundreds of historical locks and related items. Several other antique bank safes are scattered inside and outside of the building, including large, spherical “cannonball safes” Sass said were designed to hold an institution’s gold. But amassing safes is space prohibitive, so he often just cuts out the locking mechanisms, name plates and other interesting parts for restoration projects.
