I Got Padlocks

[Carolina Tom]

I have been hunting a rather unproductive spot, it looks good, but not many keepers.

I was able to locate two padlocks though.

The first one was a mid 1900s "Mail RFD" padlock.

The second one is a bit older, late 1800s or early 1900s. From what I have read, it is neither USPS or military, but was sold out of catalogs with a "US" logo on it. It is all brass, and the bail still moves freely! They don't make stuff like they used to...

Best of luck to you on your hunts!

I agree, that US lock looks great. Sometimes it is the unknown off the wall find that is better than silver and gold.
