THAT blunder is almost as bad as me posting this pic and asking, "what is it?" while I pick the underwear outta my crack.

Tonight I was sifting thru my iron collection. See, I save cool iron pieces to utilize them in some form of art. Upcycle the old iron...I have big plans:)
Anyway-- I ran across this lil number and thought it deserved a closer look.

I did an internet search on 'slaymake locks' and I see their logo but it doesn't match the one I have.

Slaymaker padlock. Some of these were made from pressure-cast zinc alloy or other cheaper metals and were usually cast in two pieces. Look for a seam down the sides. It probably used a warded key.

Yes
Slaymaker padlock
we had them for school lockers
1 out an estimated 5 used the same key
we used to use a key to poke into other lockers - in the 70s

I've seen different types of Slaymaker locks, some were decently made with a one piece body & others
'seemed' cheaper with a split case. One major steel-maker (USS) used to paint them red & use them
for safety locks.
