Another lock restoration

[Dirty Digger Doug]

Here is a lock I found. This one is all steel. 2"h x 1.5"l x 3/8w. The latch is hinged on one side with a rivet. So when it is opened it flips over instead of swiveling from side to side. The body is two plates riveted together. The key opening plates are brass. If you can give any information on it, please do.

What restoration technique did you use ? looks great !

Soaked it water and vinegar for four days then wire wheel. I put some linseed oil on it to keep it from rusting. It looks real dark in the pictures but it isn't. It will lighten some in time.
