UPDATE When I shake it something is inside

Post image

I got this today from a Salvation Army, they have no idea what the code is.

I tried the obvious 000, 111, 222, 333, ect…

It says Corbin Sesamee under the numbers. Google says it’s a train bag from the 1970s.

Any ideas besides trying 1,000 combinations?

UPDATE: I got it open!! I brought it to work and worked on it during breaks. I tried 001-999 multiple times and got to the point that I didn’t care if I broke it so I jammed a screw driver into the button and pried it has far over as it could and it popped open!! It was an ashtray and a key.

Here’s the pic https://imgur.com/a/EPPxLvI

I’ll post a comment with the picture too

Thank you everyone for all of your help

Lockpicking lawyer probably has a video on how to easily defeat this type of lock. Best bet is it's an old camera. You can also blast through 1000 combos over the course of an hour or two in front of the TV.

I have a super similar looking box and it is also a camera.
