Nine Older Keys and Two Modern Padlocks

graeme

Hi, I’m just found the site and it’s fantastic!

Maybe you brains can give me some information about a few bits of my collection? In hindsight I should have taken these photos with a ruler, and can retake them if it would help.

Lockwood Brass Padlock

I can’t find any information about the patent number on this lock, but I figure it must be quite recent as there is a dual ball-bearing mechanism. It’s solid brass.

Nice Big Keys

Couple of big keys in good condition.

More Older Keys, Bit Rusty

Yale

Finally, a trashed old American Yale. No key, I had to pick this one open.

Post a picture, closeup on the keyway and I MIGHT be able to get a OEM key blank for you. Then it is just a point of making the key and copy onto the OEM. I have quite a bit of Yale OEM blanks for small keyways.

The bridge ward rusty keys vary in date. The flat keyheads probably around the the 1870’s up until the 1950’s. The wire type bows anywhere from the 1840’s to the 1860’s.
Just a rounded off guess? Knowing the lengths would be better.
