Old locks from old farm site

[Mainedigger]

not sure of the time frame for these, know they are old but not sure how old? The first one is the only one that takes a skeleton key. Any one have any ideas on the design on the second one?

Nice locks, in great shape too!, my first find when I was about 10 with a cheapo orange radio shack detector was a Yale lock, I still have somewhere.

Nice locks!

Are there any marks, initials, etc. on the brass lever padlock at the top or the one at the bottom?

The square warded padlock with a crescent and two dots has been attributed to Mallory, Wheeler & Co. of New Haven, CT, a leading lock manufacturer from about 1865 to 1910. One of these brought $12 in a Schofield's padlock auction a while back.

All of these locks likely date from the late 1800's or early 1900's.

I don't know squat about locks, but I did find one a couple of weeks ago similar to the top one. I was thinking maybe late 1800's

PBK...the bottom lock says Corbin Cabinet lock Co along the front of the hasp and on the backof the hasp it says H383 , the top one also has writing on the face of the hasp, but will have to clean it some to read what it says.

PBK...the bottom lock says Corbin Cabinet lock Co

The Corbin Cabinet Lock Co. of New Britain, CT manufactured padlocks from 1882 to 1993. I believe that your lock falls fairly early within that time frame— say, 1890-1910.

Great locks... I have always loved padlocks. The only lock I have found is in bad condition.
