Help with dating old Ratner locks

United

Just wondering if anyone can help with information that will help with dating some old ratner locks I picked up recently?
Is there a list avalable anywhere?

some of the locks include a 7 lever,9 lever and a key changeable type.

Also, if anyone can tell me when Chubb stopped stamping item numbers on locks.

I believe one of the Chubb locks I picked up dates back to 1868, (item number 563237) and 1627625, which I think is around 1900.

Some of the more recent locks don’t have item numbers.

Thank you in advance.

There are no publications but I spent a long time harassing people who had some of the numbers and putting them all together.
