Can anybody tell me about this padlock?

How old is this? What did it go on? I know it's a slaymaker lock. I found it while metal detecting. Thanks in advance.

The slaymaker logo is a capital S with an arrow going through it. My lock has the same logo. Also when you search slaymaker locks the same one comes up

Yes we certainly realized that, green808, but I could find nothing definitive as the internet often repeats the same mistake....An Etsy sale or metal detector forum is NOT proof (esp since the Padlock Collector doesnt say it). I was searching for proof; such as an original box or an original sale ad.

I didnt find the proof I was looking for but I found a padlock with a very similar logo with the words SLAYMAKER embossed underneath. I guess you missed that.

Try to keep up here. I took the search a step further after noticing the shackle closely resembles a Fraim. I found that Fraim Slaymaker merged in 1925. I found a riveted padlock similar to yours with the FS Fraim Slaymaker logo. My deduction is a post Fraim merger Slaymaker. Am I repeating myself? What you think?

If it was a merger (which I'd be happy with) wouldn't it have a F and a S. just wondering. I love these type of items. They make you go crazy trying to research and find proof. It's my first lock and I love the ornateness of it.

Oh I missed a part a POST merger lol sorry

 

[SCDigginWithAK]

I agree it's post merger I'm thinking late 1930s or the 1940s.

Yea Im thinking post merger. But its just a guess. I have been searching but Im unable to find the dateline. Besides the keyhole it does kinda resemble the Fraim Slaymaker and the shackle shape resembles those used on old Fraims.

I thought the exact same after looking at them

Here is an old Fraim.

That's the exact one I was talking about haha

It seems to have a Fraim influence. Fraim-Slaymaker ceased in 1929 according to my link.

Im having trouble dating the Slaymaker S with arrow mark.

after the banking runs during the 1929 stock market crash lots of folks in the30's and 40's had a bad distrust of banks and stashed money in mason jars *
