E.T Fraim Padlock and Lead Bullet?

[smitty010203]

Hey guys beginner treasure hunter here. Been reading on the forum for a while and finally joining up. Looking forward to getting more involved with my new hobby. I recently made a couple finds that I need some help with. One, an old padlock. After researching for a while I found it online on the antique padlock identifier website.Warded Padlocks Design - Part 1 - Antique Padlocks
My question is, can anyone tell me anything else about this padlock? I cant find even a picture of it anywhere else or any information it.

Also, I found what appears to be a fired bullet? It looks as though at one time it has some checkering and a band around it. Any help is appreciated!

The bullet is a 20th Century shotgun slug.

This is speculation on the lack of examples of you're running into of your padlock:
Another of Fraim's locks that somewhat regularly show up here, which is marked U.S on the front (despite not being government affiliated), is often not marked with the company's name. It is of roughly the same era, and it's just possible that the same occurs with your model, and thus folks just describe them as "beautiful antique brass padlock" or some such thing, since they haven't taken the time to discern the maker. -Just a possibility.
