With all the bad weather here lately, I've been cleaning and organizing my dug Coin, Relic and Jewelry collection.
Here's some old Padlocks that I've found - all were cleaned with Electrolysis and then buffed with Very Fine Steel Wool.

Also, if anyone can tell me anything about the history, age, etc. of the Padlocks in my photo - I'd appreciate it !

Now ... lets see your old Padlocks !

Truly amazing how much better things were made back when. If your not careful you can buy pure trash at the home centers. Nobody’s going to pick up a master lock in 100 years and be impressed.
