AN OLD LOCK WITH FLORAL DESIGN. WHAT YEAR IS THIS THING?

A NICE DAY FOR A QUICK TWO HOUR HUNT. WE HIT AN OLDER BALL FIELD TODAY THAT HAS PRODUCED IN THE PAST. WE FOUND ABOUT 6 WHEATS A MERC AND THE USUAL CLAD. I ALSO FOUND AN OLDER MAX FACTOR LIPSTICK CASE WHICH I WILL POST ALONG WITH MY OTHER FINDS WHEN MY BATTERIES ARE JUICED UP AGAIN IN MY CAMERA. MY MOST INTERESTING FIND IS THIS OLDER LOCK WITH A FLORAL/SCROLL DESIGN. IT WAS ABOUT 8 INCHES DOWN IN GREAT SOIL. ANY INFO ON THIS LOCK WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THE LARGE CENT IN THE PIC WAS GIVEN TO ME BY MY BROTHER YESTERDAY. HE FOUND IT IN A CUSTOMERS BASEMENT AND THEY GAVE IT TO HIM. NOW ITS ALL MINE! THANKS AGAIN AND HH

Late 1800's - very early 1900's. I believe it may have been made by the E. T. Fraim Lock Co. of Lancaster, PA.

Beautiful little padlock - and after a fascinating journey through Googleing of padlocks - I can see why PBK says E.T. Fraim
but is that definite?

That's a neat lock; like the design!

The COPPER'S in excellent condition!
What year is it? Sorry, my 57 year old eyes strain easy.
