    Default Looking for Help with Appraisal

    Hi all,

    Was hoping someone might be able to provide me with some insight into the following padlocks. The year these were made, where they might be from?

    Would anyone have any idea on the approximate value of these padlocks, or who I could contact in regards to getting them appraised?

    My family has a collection of approximately ~300-350 different padlocks, and would like to get the collection appraised.

    Thank you for any help!

    Almost certainly reasonably modern Indian.

    Value decorative only as such a few dollars each.

    There is no point at all showing padlocks to anyone who is not a specialist in them, I would suggest contacting one of the large US based collecting associations for advice re a member local to you.

    Thank you Oldlock. I don't know much about the large US collecting associations, could you point me to where I could find/contact one or two of them? Thanks again!

    Try looking for the 'Lock Museum of America' or the 'West Coast Lock Collectors Association (WCLCA)'.
