Interesting lock. That a HBC blanket? Capote?

No just a rag I always use for pics. But I might have one in the back I'm actually bout a mile from an old HBC fort that named this town after the owners wife , lady frances Simpson. And we get Fort Frances .were a lot old forts round here since 1775

The four stripes to the right of the lock made me think it might be a 4 point HBC blanket. If it's a rag, might have come from one.

Believe a couple other TN members have posted some Empire Locks before... May want to use the "Search" here and see what you can come up with..
