Very old heart-shaped padlock w/ key Any info?
I have a small collection of padlocks and I believe this to be the oldest. There is a clear logo ("S & Co?) on the dust cover but the emblem is sort of ambiguous. The key has "C. WHEELER" stamped on it and is partially punched out. It appears to be constructed of iron with heavy pitting with a brass or bronze dust cover. It also seems to be formed out of iron plates that are riveted together rather than from a solid piece. Any information or comments would be appreciated.

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...
