1866 Brass Padlock Townsend & Max Brothers

Here is a most interesting early padlock.

Unique 1866 Brass Padlock Townsend & Max Brothers? Patent 1858, 61, & 66 No Key

The last Patent date on this lock is Sept 15, 1866. It also has Nov 2, 58, and Dec 10, 61. The left side says, Townsend Mfg Company and the right side looks like, Max Brothers Patent Dec 10, '61. The only word I am not sure of is "Max". It looks like a M and a X but I'm not sure if it is a A in the middle even under 10X magnifier. It is a unique old lock made of brass with a early looking steel chain. No reserve auction, will combine shipping if you win more than one that will fit in a small flat rate box. I acquired a group of early Keys and Locks that I will be listing as time allows. Please ask questions before bidding. No Buy it Now option for this auction, sorry. - eBay (9 Feb 2012)

This padlock had a high bid of $1,625 (Plus $5 Shipping).

BRASS PAD LOCK - REAL ESTATE - 300 HOME

Here is a nice padlock that I have never seen before.

This auction is for what I am told , is a very rare and old brass pad lock. The person who sold it to me said it was used on newly built homes in Levittown long Island,built after WWII. That's what those who saw it said. I don't know for sure...maybe some one out there does. Anyway,this is being offered as is with no key. It is open,and if you play with it, it will close and lock,and re open after you push on it a few times in weird combination's of pushes! Apparently it was used on the development as a very early form of a realtors lock box.SO........ here it is.....Pay Pal.....GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PRISON SHACKLES - LEG & WRIST IRONS - 19TH CENTURY

What an interesting set of shackles. I'm not surprised that these went for the final price.

This auction is for a superb original antique set of shackles. These are made of very heavy metal (iron) and consist of a pair of handcuffs (for the wrists) and a pair of legcuffs with a joining metal chain (there is no lock or padlock with this set). These shackles date to the late 19th. century or early 1900's and according to the previous owner these came from a prison here in the Netherlands. These shackles are not marked and they are in superb condition. There is wear from age and use as you'd expect (see pictures) but no repairs or damage. The cuffs lock beautifully and fit well around an adult man's wrists and leggs. The inside space (opening) of the wrist cuffs measure 2-3/4" long (7 cm), a fraction under 2-1/8" wide (5,3 cm) and 1-1/2" deep (3,7 cm). The leg irons (the space measured on the inside) measure 3-1/2"across (9 cm) and 1-7/8" deep (4,7 cm). These are genuine antique shackles and cuffs, made from hand wrought iron. They are very heavy and superb quality, wonderful smooth and tight mechanisms with the original chain. The chain is not very long, so I'm not sure whether the chain would have been used just to tie the legcuffs, and then the handcuffs may have been tied together directly with a padlock or had their own chain originally. Or of course the chain could have gone through all the cuffs tying the prisoner's feet and hands close together. The chain measures 23-1/4" long (59 cm). The chain links are approx. 2" long and 5/8" wide. - eBay ()

This set of shackles had a high bid of $1,515 (Plus Free Shipping).
