Got a challenging one - padlock...

[Cubfan64]

Someone I know from another website found these awhile ago and has had no luck at all getting any information on them.

I did a little searching and came up with absolutely nothing, so since I know there are a number of research experts here (*nudge nudge PBK*), I offered to post it here and see what you folks could come up with. The only thing I can tell you about them is that there IS an E at the end of the "Invincible" logo on them (even though you can't see it well - I asked him that).

Looking forward to stumping you all

Neat little lock! Can't tell you too much about it, though. It's a late 19th - early 20th century iron lever padlock, and is listed in Arnall's The Padlock Collector, 6th Ed. (1996). However, there is no indication of the manufacturer. Arnall values it at $5, which is almost certainly too low. I'll check some past auctions and see if I can find any prices realized for it.

(Incidentally, as far as I can determine, this lock is in no way related to the "Invincible Lock" safes made in the late 1800's by Samuel Withers & Co. of West Bromwich, England.)

You never cease to amaze me PBK!!! In seconds you gave us more information than he's found in months!

Thanks and if you run across any other information, please let me know! Very very much appreciated!

They look like railroad switch locks to me, but I can't tell how big they are. Monty

It's listed as a 3" lock; however, it's fairly common for the same pattern/model of lock to be produced in multiple sizes.

Not a railroad lock, though.

Great condition on those finds. Man, I'd love to find a padlock.
