Of course you can use the pictures. They are recent and that was the only Beard or Mosler/Beard timelock that I could find in the collection. Doug

Yes, I took the pictures there very recently. Ever since I first took a timelock servicing course at Lockmasters back in the 80's, I have taken pictures of the collection when I get the chance. Unfortunately taking them through the glass case makes it difficult. Doug
Neat. Was it labeled as a Type 3? I don't see a key in the keyway but I assume they have one. I'm hoping that they can do the same type of outside-the-glass closeup photography that they did with these pix they sent me of their Mosler 1887. These were done by their in-house media person. Nice shiots!
No it wasn't labeled at all. Nor are most the locks in the collection, unfortunately. There are about 25 glass gondola cases with a very rough ballpark estimate of 800 locks. Doug
That's too bad. I wish I had known about your pix before I listed my Type 3 on eBay. I'm also disapointed that my inquiry to them about their Type 3 only got me pix of the similar Mosler 1887 & no info on their Type 3. It's not hard to imagine a corporate collection like this one being sadly disorganized, such as the lack of labeling & what I would assume is a lack of a central inventory list or catalog. Such a valuable collection deserves to be better organized & presented but, like most corporartions, historical collections probably have a very low priority in their scheme of things.
