    Default Thousand's of years antique lock

    Good evening, this is an ancient lock, this does not have a key hole but it has a three key opening system, & it contains another set of original keys.And this lock is very attractive, admirable & most of all it is in a very very good condition, & this lock had been passed on generation to generation & also it is a very lucky lock & it can be used to lock the most secret thing & no one will ever know how to unlock it.This is about my lock & my expectation is 100,000.00-125,000.00(GBP) & please reply me as soon as possible & my humble request is please finish this quickly Thank you Kind request

    Being you have all the keys I would guess maybe $150-600 US on the high side. I seem to remember seeing that lock somewhere and someone making modern copies.

    It is the story behind the lock that makes it worth more. You might be able to boost yours a small bit if you know the history of this lock better. Such as who first had the lock and why they got it. The lock maker if you can find out.

    I think it is a copy and not original. I think that you already know this.
    Regards
