Experts - Can you help me identify this lock?
Hello all, I cam here looking for some help.
I'm not a lock guy, (nobody's perfect) I'm a cabinetmaker and furniture maker. I am working on a reproduction of an old tool chest and I am hoping to identify the lock used. I've enclosed the three best pictures of it I have. It appears to be a full-mortise combination box/chest lock from around (give or take 20 years) the turn of the 20th century (I could be off but that seems to be when the chest was made)
I found this site while searching for expert advice and you guys seem to be an amazing resource. If any of you experts can assist me in identifying and possibly locating a lock like this I will be very much in your debt.
Sincerely yours,
Nick Appert

Are you still looking for a lock? or have you completed the reproduction?
Hi, I just came across this thread, and MAY have something you could use. But before I go digging in the dungeon, I wanted to see if you in fact still need it. (as your last post was almost a year ago) :)
let me know.
Jim.

Now to find one. I am trying my hardest to create an accurate reproduction of the chest, So I prefer not to consider other locks until I am convinced an Eagle 2001 is unobtainable.
Anyone's got one, please let me know. If you know someone who does, please inform them of my interest. Your continued help is more appreciated than I can say.
Thanks all, and happy New Year.
