I found this about 8". My brother and I hit several older vacant homes and foundations in an old RR town in SE AZ. I am still learning up on its history, ie manufacter, date, value.
I hope the fact that it has been hacksawed doesn't kill the value too much. I would love to know the history on why it was cut or by whom, perhaps what this lock may have been guarding from thieves and why it wound up where it did in the front yard of a house foundation.
On the bar of the lock I stripped some of the paint away so I could make out some of the writting. All I could get was something like "......fraim Lock CO" then "Lancaster, PA USA".
Anybody with any ideas?
