Antique Pad Lock
I have an antique pad lock with the name"Levers" stamped on it. It has a crown centered between the words "Trade Mark" and "No 22" resting on a crescent moon in upper right corner. The key flap has "YUNUS LOCK" and "LEVERS" stamped vertically on it. It also has what appears to be "TA" on one side of the key hole and "LOCK" on the other. There is scroll work on the face also. ( A style resembling a Fleur-de-Lis design. Can anybody tell me anything about this lock or where I might find information about it?. Thank You, Jim.

Look in front of the word "LEVERS" carefully, and you will probably find a number. This tells you the number of locking levers inside the lock. Generally the higher the number the more difficult to pick or otherwise open without the key.
If you provide a nice picture (not too big) someone can probably tell you more.

Another point Gary is that although the key is marked 'patent' nothing has been found in the British patent abridgements, so maybe its one that was 'applied for' but not granted... The mystery...
