padlock

Any idea on age and maker?

It was made by the E. T. Fraim Lock Company, but not sure on a date.

History Note of interest: The company was run brothers Edward T. Fraim, Parker K. Fraim and Miller W. Fraim.
Around 1890 Miller and Parker split from the lock company to establish the Lancaster Silver Plate Company.
Edward's sons, Walter and Samuel, took over the business and stepped up to the "challenge" of running the company when Edward died in 1917. Perhaps the lock dates to that time fraim .... oops I mean time frame.
