Corbin Lock With Unusual Logo

[cjdamman]

The mystery is not not what is it, but rather why is there an unusual Corbin log on a Miller Climax lock? Here are some pictures of the lock I found:



And below are some links to almost identical Miller Climax locks:

My guess is that Miller Lock Co. was acquired by P&F Corbin Co. and put a modified logo on this lock to fit within the mold, but I can't find anything on the web to suggest this merger/acquistion...maybe others on this forum know more and could help. : )

Thanks!

Does it say Miller or Climax somewhere on the lock?

Not the same locks. Just similar. Even the cross hatching is different from the Climax lock. There are many locks out there that are almost the same but from different manufacturers.
