hjrod1954 Hey all! I posted here a week or so ago a few locks that I just inherited and really appreciate the help that I got. Now I’ve taken a lot more pictures of the other locks that I received. So once again, if anyone has any information on what I have, I would really appreciate the help. Since I have around 50 pictures I’ll upload 10 or so at a time, that way when I have specific questions about any of them, it will be easier to identify which ones I’m referring to - and vice-versa. Thanks!
Brian Denyer The U shaped lock is for traveling or a Kit bag lock used by soldiers. Oppps I can’t see the rest of the locks. So RFD is for Rural Free Delivery and uesd for the early mail box locks in the farm district. The circular combo lock is a low security type of dial padlock. Brian ……………………………….

Thanks! Kit Bag lock as used by traveling salesmen and/or soldiers. Many samples cases weren’t cases but leather or cloth with pouches that were rolled up for transporting and these locked them. Kit Bag lock. Kit Bag lock. An Indian or Pakistani lock with an unusual shackle. The shackle is unusual for two reasons. a. It seems to have been designed to come completely out of the body. b. the cut in each shackle leg is made on a different side. Typically most shackles have the retention cut on the inside of the shackle leg. RFD = mailbox lock. Rural Free Delivery=RFD A donner lock. This is the first type of this mechanism I ever saw and it had the brand name Donner. I have called every like of this type a ‘Donner type’ since but this one looks exactly like that first one I ever saw and may be an actual Donner brand. Donner type. Donner type. A Dudley combination lock. Wilson Bohannon? The picture is fuzzy so hard to tell. Nothing special, looks like current production. Looks like a Corbin Sesame or a Master 175. BBE. [unknown]
