Blank. 4 1/4" high x 3 3/8" wide x 1 9/16" deep. Brass case.
Steel
shackle. Weight: 2lbs 5ozs. The drop has a special mechanism that allows it to
be pulled up and lock to the side. Originally, I believe that this mechanism
also prevented the drop from sliding to the left without first pushing it
upward. It is worn down just enough now that it will rotate to the left, but
not as much as when you first push the drop upward. Mfg by: Possibly W. C.
Sinclair. "The Michael Stuart Collection" |

Blank. 6" high x 3 1/4" wide x 1 13/16" deep. Brass and
iron case. Iron shackle. Instructions to open: Using the key shaped like a
socket wrench removes the bottom of the lock. Using the female square key at the
bottom allows you to crank the brass section down to reveal another keyhole, as
well as a small hole on the side. The small hole requires a screw key to be
screwed tight. The revealed keyhole requires a key to be turned clockwise. And
now the trick. Moving the fish under the shackle reveals yet another keyhole
which requires the smallest key to be turned counterclockwise. Once all three
final keys have been worked, the lock will open. Mfg by: Possibly middle eastern
20th century. "The Scott Family Collection" |
