help me ID a couple locks!

Got a bunch of padlocks yesterday, a few that I can not identify.

The 2 small ones are marked 9-9 and 101, I removed a bit of the rust on my wire wheel.
The teardrop shaped one is marked Y S &T Co. The only thing I could find is “Youngstown Steel and Tube Co.” so it could have been used in their plant.

Thoughts?

Hey Jeff,
The 9-9 and 101 are both Walsco locks (Waterbury Lock and Specialty Co.). Youngstown Sheet and Tube was certainly big enough to have had locks contracted for them. I think that is a pretty good guess on the brass lock.
would need some better pics of that one if you want to try and identify the manufacturer.
A nice find!

Thanks for the info! I will get some better pics this week.
We had a water leak from our washing machine into the basement where my shop is, so everything has been moved around.

Unfortunately there is no listing for WALSCO or Waterbury in my Reed code book PDFs.
However - I received another 101 padlock yesterday in a trade, with a Master flat steel key. This key fits both locks so I may be able to have another key made by a machinist friend.
