Tonights Hunt At The 1850's Fairchild Place, Need Help To ID Relic

Good evening Fellow members,
Got out a little while tonight at the old Fairchild place and went searching the back yard again. So far I have found a nice CW General Officers coat button and an 1863 CW store card (token) Tonight I found what appears to be part of an old lock. After cleaning it it says SAFE and is brass. Any ideas on what it might be Thanks for looking and the help...........Ron

Yep it looks like the side of a lock. what does the other side of it look like?

Nice lock slab... if I had to guess I'd place it at 1870-1900, but I could be off on that. Nice pics once again, jarhead!

The "SAFE" script is very unusual for a lock or a safe. I'd say Art Nouveou (sp?) style. Very interesting find.

1 1/2 X 1 1/2 inches. I tried searching under Safe Lock co. and found one but nothing like this one (if it is indeed a lock face) Unique writting
