    Default Yale Chest Combination Lock.

    I recently acquired this lock in a small group of cabinet locks. I was wondering if any one can tell me approximate age and value? I can't seem to find anything online that is similar.

    Not found in Yale Catalog No. 26 c.1929, perhaps of earlier manufacture? Combo changing instructions are on the printed sheet shown in the thumbnail.

    Combination Chest lock, was probably on an old cedar chest, or similar.
