Old Adlake Padlocks

I have these two Adlake Padlocks. Any idea what they would be worth?

Not a whole lot unfortunately. The keys are probably worth more than the locks, especially if they are marked for any rail road. I don’t see any markings on the locks themselves, usually the rail road locks will have their initials stamped on the bodies and the keys will be stamped on the bows. Those locks and keys, if unmarked are probably worth around $10-$15 each. If the keys were marked with any rail road initials, they could bring from $25 and up just by themselves. Mark

In addition, the chains have been cut out, reducing the value even more. The brass bodied padlocks seem to be more favored among collectors.
