This is a little blog about various locks, keys, handcuffs and all other sorts of locking and restraining devices. As such I will occasionally touch on Bondage activities which makes this a blog intended for adults. Apologies to those who are simply interested in lock collecting or may have a problem with the topic of any particular post. LOLdetector de metales said:

My guess would be the patented 1910 item is a cover plate for something electric or conduit wiring.

It appears to be an old jail cell lock.
Jail cell locks was Houdini's favorites for some of his famous escapes.

over 200 bucks
And a grouping of Merry Widows tins sold recently on Artfact.com (although I am not a member, so I cannot see the realized price at auction).
Interest in these condom tins is probably being driven up by the first book/price guide which has come out for them.
Of course, the ones we dig are usually in awful shape...
Who knows. Maybe we'll see a rare condom tin on the banner one day.

Just tidying up some blasts from the past (including some very ancient ones), largely for the benefit of anyone searching the site for information.
The latch thingy is a ‘seal-padlock’ patented by Benjamin R. Draudt of Cleveland, Ohio.
“My invention relates to the improvement of seals of that class which are adapted for use in sealing car doors, gas and water pipe connections, and closures of various kinds.”
Presumably the “Siberian” branding relates to some specific purpose. It's an odd choice of name for a padlock brand and I would guess it must be refrigeration-related. The only likely possibility I could come up with is that it might be a lock from an old ice chest. Simmons hardware of St. Louis, MO produced such chests for domestic use under the ‘Siberia’ (not ‘Siberian’) brand although they didn’t need to be lockable. This one c.1924:
I’m guessing there may have been others trading on the connection between the 'Siberia' name and keeping something cold or frozen, including perhaps ice chests of an industrial nature or on the rear of delivery vehicles, which would have needed a lock. Just a WAG though.
