What's the age of this lock? SOLVED!

I found this on Sunday and I was wondering its age? It is brass and has no maker's mark.

Re: What's the age of this lock?

Warded brass padlocks of this sort date from around 1890-1910. As far as I can determine, the maker of this particular case design is unknown. The most recent price I could find for it is $5, paid in a Schofield's padlock auction in 2005. Earlier, in another Schofield's auction in 1998, a lock of this type brought $12.

Thanks, PBK, for the ID. This one is now solved.
