    Great the way you have managed to bring locks together from 3 or 4 private collections that I can see.

    Did you get much interest ?

    These pics were taken just before the doors opened; it proved impossible to take pictures during the show since the stand was packed out. This is just a small number of the locks in the Heritage collection. The show was very successful and we have been booked again for next year. We had intended to issue a show catalogue listing and describing all the items in The Heritage Collection but we simply ran out of time, we should have it ready for the next show though.

    Yes Paul, that's a model Ratner with grill gate. Its been in the collection a number of years but don't recall the donor/credit line. Could look it up if its important, do you know something about its provenance?

    kwoswalt99 - ask away.

    Was that oldlock's tangential? Do the large hobbs protectors have any unique technology besides a whole lot of gates and anti destructive entry measures? I.e. anti picking etc.
