    Default I need help identifying this lock

    I recently came across this old cast iron lock and I just had to buy it. The problem is that I haven't been able to find any information on it. I came across this site on my search and I would appreciate any help in finding out about it.
    Thank you.

    Default Something electric?

    Is this an electromechanical contraption designed to pull back a latch?
    This http://www.grothegmbh.de/de/grothe-g...roduct%5D=1049 seems to be a successor product.

    A google image search for "grothe rex 5200" brings up some more pictures incl. this: https://media.hagemeyer.nl/shopimage...615801_320.jpg

    Grothe was founded in Cologne, Germany in 1892: http://www.grothegmbh.de/en/about-us...y-history.html

    Thank you for the reply. It was exactly what I needed to figure this out. It looks like this was an early version of the grothe 5200.
