Little Old Keys

[Duzzitmatterhuh]

I found these little, old keys. Have a lion on one side, numbers on the other. Says Master Lock Co. Milwaukee USA.

Thanks for any info

Best resource for info I ever found is Google.

Try a Google search for "old master lock key, lion"

I do know they date back to the 1920's, and production ended sometime
in the '30's.

The master lock key with the lion was made around the early 1920's.

A little history from the Etsy site "Supported by the financial investment of two friends, P.E. Yolles and Sam Stahl, Soref began his own company, Master Lock Company, in 1921. He patented the first laminated padlock in 1924. Master Lock marketed the padlock using a lion's head logo for name recognition"
