Beard & Brother Time Lock of Unknown Type
I expect to receive this lock next week & am hoping to be able to identify it with the help of the staff of the Harry Miller lock collection, which has the only known example of the Type 3 lock. My lock appears to be a modified Type 2 (BEARD'S). The Type 3 is rare enough that I've been unable to locate a photo of it. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

In-focus pix of Beard time lock
The lock arrived today & I took advantage of the bright sun to take some pix that were more in focus that the ones off the eBay listing.
The door glass is missing but there are a number of custom glass shops in my area that should be able to make a replacement. I'm guessing 1/8" thick. Any comments on this & the proper adhesive?
BEARD'S & KING'S PAT are clearly visible in my shots.

It is a Beard & Brother Type 3 Time Lock
I emailed my closeup pix of the lock to Dr. John Erroll, curator of the famous Mossman lock collection in NYC. He responded to me this AM as follows:

Hi Jack
Yes, you have found another example to the Beard Bros Type 3. Not a bad find for ebay and a really great price.
In the interest of accuracy & consistency I'm terminating this thread & will start a Type 3 thread.
