I am looking to know where these came from, how old, what they were used for, and most of all.......how much this beautiful old lock is worth???? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

F.SENGPIEL'S-PATENT Padlock
I think I can be of help in identifying the manufacturer of this padlock. I have one very similar, but without the Sengpiel name. Back in 1981 I wrote a letter to the lock museum in Velbert. I received a reply from Herr Oetelshofen who identified it as having been made by the firm of Damm & Ladwig in Velbert. The company was founded in 1886 and was taken over by Yale & Towne in 1927. Notice the similarities - the shape, the key, and that oak leaf on the keyhole cover.

f. SENGPIEL PADLOCK HISTORY
Since I originally posted a question regarding the origins of "F. Sengpiel" padlocks on this blog I have acquired 45 such locks and concluded a bit of research. For those who are interested, I have posted over 40 locks and historical information on the website MYVIMU.COM ..
While nearly all the info on the site is in Polish, my pictures have descriptions entirely in English. In the search area, just type in "Sengpiel" and you will see my collection.
