Hello! New user to this site here. I came across some antique padlocks recently and I was able to identify them all but one. I am attaching images of my lock and some others that look very similar other then the brand name on them. The only markings mine has are "Hardened" on the shackle and "Portugal" right beside where the shackle goes in. From what I have found it looks very similar to some "Yale" brand locks. Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks for checking this out and have a nice day!

From a quick search it seems there are a lot of Conrail locks and keys marked with only Portugal. The pattern was popular for years, and many companies made similar locks. You can find similar locks with the Rail Roads initials inplace of where you find YALE on other locks.
