Locked up

[tomsneck]

Found this big guy in the same area as my 1735 20 Reis. Thought I had a big silver the wat she rang. Lol. Coolest lock I've found to date.
Gave the door a little tap w a jewelers hammer and it moved. Couldn't believe it. I have to go find that key!
Thanks for the look

It would be great to have that lock restored.
I'm sure there are locksmiths around who can help you to get a key for that lock.
Congrats

Awesome lock. I found a similar one earlier this year. The face was missing. I cleaned the caked clay out and did a thorough cleaning and polishing. Here's a pic to show you what's inside



Anyway, killer lock!
