Found this Chicago Milwaukee & Saint Paul Railroad padlock on Monday. The dust cover was stuck in the open position but as soon as I removed some dirt from under it it snapped shut right away and the spring is still strong - has lots of snap left in it. I was pretty happy as it's my first RR padlock dug since starting this hobby last year.

It's a rare one. A patent padlock by Dr. Solomon Andrews, Perth Amboy, New Jersey. Patented 1840. It probably dates from 1840-1865. I believe it is the 3rd oldest padlock patent in U.S. history, ignoring a handful of "X-Patents" which were lost when the patents office burned down in 1836.

See this site for other examples, and they're far and few.

Seems like my last reply didn't go through - so trying again.

It's a rare lock. Very early patent padlock. Manufacturer is Dr. Solomon Andrews of Perth Amboy, NJ. I believe it is the 3rd oldest American padlock patent, discounting a handful of "X-Patents" that were lost when the US patent office burned in 1836. It probably dates from 1840 - 1860's.
