Dating a Padlock?

[paleomaxx]

This piece isn't from the field with the buttons, but at a foundation site I stumbled across nearby. Is the construction distinct enough to get a rough date range?



The circular piece around the keyhole is brass while the rest of the padlock is iron. No writing or inscriptions on the brass that I can see.
