Beautiful old lock, and in such great shape. Did it come out like that or did you do a stellar cleaning job?

it almost came out like that
i only used a little warm water and a soft bristle fingernail brush
it also has the number 23 stamped in it above and to the left of the one
there is nothing else for description

beautiful lock. Not surprised the way it cleaned up. I have several old ones one same shape but no date. They clean up great
and the metal used in these old locks gets a fantastic patina.

That's an impressive looking lock and in great shape, the shank doesn't appear to have much wear on it either, great find!
