[Garabaldi]

Found this item that says "REESE Made In USA". Anyone know what this would have been to?

Probably a tag off a Reese trailer..... http://www.reeseprod.com/

I think its half of a Reese padlock but I dont have a pic.

 

[Garabaldi]

bigcy, are you spelling that correctly? Its Reese. Would love to see the pad lock.

 

[Mainedigger]

The REESE pad lock is round, this item is square? . Do you think they made square pad locks?

Yes, they made square Reese padlocks. I found square examples but didnt post them because I cannot find the exact match. I dont know why Maindigger posted the Reece trailer link or the round padlocks. I could not find a match in his links. I guess he was trying to say that Reese makes hitches and padlocks, but no match yet.

I've been looking around, also. Has anyone noticed that, on all the Reese locks, it either says, Lancaster, Pa with its Made in USA, or Reese Cylinder, but, so far, none say exactly like what we are looking at here - with just Reese, Made in USA?

I cant find a match but it sure looks like the insides of a padlock.

 

[mrs.oroblanco]

I think I might have found it.


Does this look like what you have?

 

[mrs.oroblanco]

Should have given you the link.
