✅ SOLVED Help identifying lock and date

[Tango Kilo]

Here is another find from this past Saturday at an old cabin site. Found so many different things it is hard to figure out which generation was what. This is an old lock. Can't really make out any brand or verbiage on the lock. Was really rust and soil encrusted before cleaning.
Not a heavy type lock as far as density or weight. The case was more of a shell. You can look between the halves thickness wise and see the innards. Would like for someone to help identify and date this lock. I could not find anything on the internet resembling this lock.

Thanks

looks like those made by Oakleaf Lock Company, late 1800's


Correction: It was made by Wm. Enders Lock Co in their Oak Leaf line.

Thanks creskol. Yeah they are close and more than likely of that exact time period. What I can't find is any reference to the shape of the lock body. That would be the giveaway since it is not round and the tip of the 5 sided shape is down when latched and hanging. I think we are close. Wouldn't spend so much time on it but this one has me stumped. I have looked at hundreds of locks from that area on the internet and none the same shape. You are close though, I think. Thanks again.

I am pretty sure yours would be no. 12 in the photo below
