    Nothing Fake about either lock, nothing special about them either. The brass ones have probably been taken apart by the look of the rivets and should be avoided for that reason alone.

    The steel lock is probably german in origin, maybe from the late 1940's. As to value, in each case not much <$15 each.

    This site is about the biggest thing you can look at online. The links section will help too. Lock collecting is still in books a great deal still.
