peterf8460 I recently came across this old cast iron lock and I just had to buy it. The problem is that I haven’t been able to find any information on it. I came across this site on my search and I would appreciate any help in finding out about it. Thank you. Pete
mhmh Is this an electromechanical contraption designed to pull back a latch? This http://www.grothegmbh.de/de/grothe-gesamtkatalog/produkt-detail.html?tt_products%5Bproduct%5D=1049 seems to be a successor product. A google image search for “grothe rex 5200” brings up some more pictures incl. this: https://media.hagemeyer.nl/shopimages/hagemeyernl/9/6/1/9615801_320.jpg Grothe was founded in Cologne, Germany in 1892: http://www.grothegmbh.de/en/about-us/company-history.html

It was exactly what I needed to figure this out. It looks like this was an early version of the grothe 5200. [unknown]
