    Default Need help/ information about Pauly jail building Co lock.

    To all,
    Im going to start this by thanking all of you in advance. I recently acquired two large lots of antique prison/jail locks and keys. Ive been able to find and research most of the locks and keys, however this Pauly jail lock has me stumped. The lock measures 10 inches wide by 8 inches high with a depth of 1 3/4 inches. Its only mark on the outside is the Pauly jail building Co St Louis logo on the end of the bolt. Inside the lock there is a larger mark that reads "325 M". I would like to find out what model lock this is, how old it is and what its monetary value is? Thank you again.

    This link from the archives is about a similar lock and the manufacturer if that helps any:

    The successor company is apparently still in business:
