femurat Well, if you could take a well focused picture, it would be easy to read the letters on the shackle. The pictures you posted are quite blurry and I can’t read them. How about a picture taken on a cloudy day? if sunny day take the picture in the shade. There’s nothing better than daylight. Cheers 🙂

They were a prolific manufacturer of padlocks back in the day but I don’t see an EMFKIE wrought padlock in their 1928 Catalog No. 38. Pete Schifferli [unknown]
nathanbonstein corbin cabinet lock co is what is on shackle,no pat or pat pending and no other markings. the pic’s might be blurry, but markings are blurry even under magnifier. EMPKIE is only marking thank you,

EMPKIE is only marking thank you, There are some long-ago references in Google to Empkie Hardware Co., Empkie-Shugart Hardware Co. and Empkie-Shugart-Hill Co. of Council Bluffs, IA. Perhaps CCL private-labeled your padlock for those folks who might have been an old time hardware distributor? Pete Schifferli [unknown]
nathanbonstein thanks ,Pete. found the hardware co in council bluffs,iowa late 1870 etc but nothing on the padlocks. thank you
