Cousin ED found this .


The lock was in 3 pieces....body 2 pieces and the clasp.

He found the 1st piece in thick slimey mud....2nd piece he found 20 feet away in the slimey mud.

Then he got home cleaned it all up.....and starting looking threw his previoys finds ...found the 3rd piece..the clasp.

He had been to this location a few times....not guaranteed that he found it there...but sure looks like its the right one !!

NOW....

The kicker to this story is...look ayt the initial on the front of the lock.....it is an "E"..... ED. !!!!!


LOL..Struck me as so odd that I had to post it for him.

Any ideas on the age of the lock ??








The shiney stuff you see on the lock is tape to hold it together..he gonna get it spot welded if possible .

You need to find the key! Then you will be able to open the way to "Ed" finds! I think this is what the lock should look like. ANTIQUE EAGLE LOCK COMPANY PADLOCK BRASS WITH ORIGINAL KEY
The eagle Lock Co. was in existence from 1833 until 1975. Some sites list your lock as late 19th early 20th century.

I was editing my post to include that when you posted your reply. Re read my post, please.

Do a search for Eagle Lock Company. The Wikipedia link has some good info. Be sure to check out the pictures on the right side of the page. That would be a good hunt, I think!

Nice, and it must of been meant for him. To find it's parts in different places and hunts.
