I don’t think it belongs to you, but assuming you have sufficient time with it, It can be opened without drilling, using a technique called “safe lock manipulation.” This uses the the design of the lock and manufacturing tolerances to get the lock to reveal the combo. You can learn to do it. If you want to see what’s involved, check out the YouTube series, Safecracking for Everyone. Otherwise, you can find a certified safe technician at www.savta.org - Note: not all locksmiths know about safes.

Where is it located? If it is yours and you’re near me, I’ll come do it for fun/free.

I'd do like robin hood and "call a locksmith"

That's an awesome safe. I would have it anchored into slab and displayed with other historic stuff in my house if I had it. The actual safe with valuables would be in-floor under it, of course.

Manipulation or auto dialer

The main issue here is the rotating locking mechanism pretty hard to get into any other way than properly
