Don't know if this would help or not, I am chiming in a bit late. When I got mine at auction ($15) they had no idea of the combo. What I did was spin it around to make sure I was starting at nothing and put pressure on the handle (like opening it) and began to turn the dial.

I was hoping for something as this safe was represented as not being opened for 50 years (late 30’s, early 40’s) and pulled from an old abandoned home full of furniture.
