    I have to examples of the BAMbury lock that I can definitely date by the age of the buildings they were taken off of when the buildings were razed. The first was built in 1735 near Staunton, VA.

    The second is from a building built KY in 1820.

    Both locks have been assembled to the stock with square nails.
