Question & Answer

Q: Has the lock ever been work on, opened for repairs or anything of that sort that you know of? Can you please post pictures of the back of the lock? Thanks

A: I found this little gem at an estate sell of a home in my area. Unfortunately, I have no information on it other than I know it is old and an original piece. I have seen similar locks like this on eBay in the past, but this is the first one that I have ever found myself. Sorry not to have any further information. I have now uploaded pictures of the back of the lock too. Hope that is helpful. - eBay (24 Oct 2013)
