Erie Railroad padlock

[sscindercoop]

Today I hunted a corn field and didn't find to much the stalks were to tall. I started to search the edge of the field and found the Erie Railroad padlock it was just under the dirt. I also found a 44 merc and some wheats at the farmers house. Thanks for looking and HH

Nice find, the "Pancake" type locks are desireable with lock collectors, a good clean and working Erie lock can go as much as $150.00 or more.

That is a really sweet lock from a popular line I would get some oil or wd40 on that thing asap should clean up really nice.

That lock is great!! I would be pretty psyched to find a complete pancake lock. I did find one recently that was missing the u-bolt portion.

Congrats!

I thought you meant Erie as in scary, that is so funny how the mind thinks.
I was thinking what could be so scary about a Railroad lock.

Nice find!

Excellent find. It should clean up well. Very similar to the one I found. I wish I had the key...
Check this site. It has a thread re these padlocks and shows the internals of same.
