I found this Lock at a near Astoria,Oregon - SOLVED

[now_itsmine]

My first time out with my whites xlt I decided to go to a lewis and clark state park, I'm still unsure if it's alright to metal detect in a state park?
anyways I found an old Master Lock and in the same hole there were two silver keys. I have done some research but I am new at the hunt, Is there anyone that can tell me about what year my lock is?? Thank You, Shane: [email protected]

Is the link to an E-bay collection that has several locks similar to yours. Master Lock was started in 1921.

just a guess really but I'm thinking that style was made for quite a while. I think it's the #77. I can't really find much about it, but you could contact master lock co, and ask them about it.

Nice lock. Did you clean it? It looks as if it was recently lost. (no rust)

Good call, Ken!

It's the Master Lock Co.'s "Jungle King" #77, which was introduced in June 1932 and remained in production until the late 1930's, according to The National Locksmith Guide to Antique Padlocks by Jack Roberts.

By the way, Shane...
