Need help IDing this lock

[relichunters]

Found this lock in a historic 1800's area. It says Slaymaker I think? on the top front some is rubbed off. Under that it has ...TLESS I was guessing rustless?

On the back it has Made in USA. Any ideas on company name and age?

According to this guy-http://www.antique-locks.com/other-padlocks/367-old-slaymaker-rustless-padlock.html
This is the cheap version of the Slaymaker warded padlock probably made in the early 1970's.

Must have been really acidic soil.

Yep Slaymaker pot metal rivetted together lock that used a single blade double sided warded key. Go to Ebay and type in Slaymaker.
