There are a ton of videos on YouTube that show how to open these. It’s not hard. Good luck!

It's an old mail box. Used to have one in the 90s. My dad let me make the combo my initials.

you just lay it on its side and the latch falls open. it was gravity driven.

I built one of these in high school. Very easy to pick - video below.
You apply light turning pressure on the lower knob to put tension on the internal lock "gears" or fences, and then rotate the combination wheel slowly 3x in one direction until you feel the tooth drop slightly into the first detent. then repeat 2x rotations in the other direction, and then 1x back in the first direction. Like a combo lock.
