I found this lock at a WWII internment camp. I’m in the PNW so not a lot of cool old stuff around here, if we find late 1800’s we consider it really old so I thought it was a neat find.

Research tells me this would have been a government issue padlock for a footlocker
wtg but we would love to see the footage......................pic please
