old postal padlock

[olepossum]

went to a hand bell recital for my daughter at a senior tower living facility .it use to be a old office building when i was a little kid and was the grain exchange office for nw missouri from the earl 1900s upuntill it closed its door .well they still have the old postal chutes in the hall way and the main gathering box here is a photo of a well shined brass lock i would love to own this baby .

i wonder how old the lock is any guesses

 

[VOL1266-X]

I don't know OP but it's got a good patina and certainly shows a lot of wear. Have a good Christmas and great year hunting in 2012. HH, Quindy.
