<p>[QUOTE="Bev aka thelmasstuff, post: 106563, member: 23"]Finally able to check in here, but hubby is now at a Board of Selectman's meeting. From all the locks I've seen, I believe it is Indian/Pakistani as someone mentioned and fairly new. Everyone makes the same mistake - older items were handcrafted with pride and are very well made. The rougher and scruffier looking an item is, in my experience, the newer it is. These things are churned out quickly for the export trade and no care goes into them. We have some very old, handmade locks that are much nicer than this.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
