Many made knives, made and fitted their own horse shoes, made hinges and door fittings, farming tools, tanned leather, carved wood and yes, made locks. So this was probably home made for a particular purpose.</p><p>This lock definitely looks to have some age to it, but it is impossible to say how much really, and any attempt to do so would only be a guess I am afraid.</p><p>Finding old locks like this here is not unusual, but finding them with their key is![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
