Day didn't go as planned but I found an interesting lock.
Tuesdays are my day off so I had planned to wake up around 9am and hit the park I have been at for the last two days. Grid it methodically and more importantly, all day. I figured I am finally in an older area as I found a wheatie and Merc yesterday, compared to the modern coins (but two silver rings) two days ago.
Well, getting out of work at 4am instead of 1am started my problems. I woke up a little after noon. Then I had to wait three hours to let someone in to my house. They were supposed to be at my house at 1, and didn't get there until 3:45. That left me very little time to hunt since I had to pick up my dogs from the groomers at 5:30.
So, basically, my all day hunt turned into a one hour hunt. BOOOOO. By the time I got to the park, about a million kiddies were playing all around the area where I found the older coins.
Wandering around though, I managed just some clad, I believe a door latch which I like because it says "USA MADE" on it, and the fairly ornate lock. The front and back of the lock are the same design. I don't see any markings on it nor do I see a place for a key.
Quick googling leads me to think *maybe* E.T. Fraim, simply because they have similar designs and overall appearances.
I am certainly not an expert in locks so if anyone could steer me in the right direction to do some research or maybe how to clean it better, I would be grateful.
Thanks all for looking. Happy hunting and enjoy the day!
