    Default HELP Needed identifying a lock

    So, im new here and new to locks in General. I came across this lock without a key at an estate sale and thought it was interesting so I snagged it. I looked high and low and all i could find was and 1891 Lock by J.S. Peacock that resembles this one i have here. There is no patent date on the lock which confused me but any help would be greatly appreciated. I really like to know more about possible value, common or rare, really any info. Thanks

    I have seen a few of these before.
    There was one on eBay patent date of 1891 or 1881 stamped on the shackle
    Search completed auctions on eBay for "WONDERFUL ANTIQUE "RR" RAILROAD LOCK PADLOCK CIRCA 1800'S DATED"
    Sold for US$26.00 Sept 2017
    Hope the following link works - copy and paste it to your browser

    https://www.ebay.com/itm/WONDERFUL-A...p2047675.l2557

    Hope this helps
