Wow, that thing is encrusted! Looks cool, though. No idea, maybe early 20th century? 1900-1915? Just a guess.

Wow not sure of the age, but I found a rusted lock a while ago in a place that used to be a shop in the 1960's....



I remember in the 60's when we used similar types of locks though..... Great find all the same, and dont take my word for it, see what the others say. [I have been wrong before ]
Not sure if that helps you or not.

I would guess 1950-1960.

The case of this padlock consists of a formed front and back held together by rivets. Some of these were made of steel and some brass.

Hope this helps

Looks alot like a railroad lock I have. I'm guessing it's from the '20s.

(...just a guess..:-) I'm no expert.
