    Default Can anyone identify this padlock ?

    I'm new to the forum. Not a lock collector. My hobby is researching items. I found this to be an interesting item. Can anyone identify the manufacturer? I believe it to be from the late 1800's.

    Guess you'll have to copy and paste. Sorry

    Default William Wilcox

    Hi Wally,

    This padlock was mfg by the William Wilcox mfg co (1875-1910).
    William Wicox started in business as the William Wilcox Co (1854-1874).
    This type of padlock is Affectionately called a "Smoke House" padlock - I belive the name was coined because they were used to lockup the smoke house.

    Default Thank you David

    I'm a 60 year old retired guy. I found this item on an Ebay discussion site. Thank you for your quick reply. I will pass on this info.
    Any value? It sure looks like an interesting item.
