    Default Very old Yale cylinder lock

    This is the oldest Yale cylinder I've ever seen. The patent dates on the mortise lock it came from are June 27, 1865 & April 2, 1878. Lock & key are both marked Yale Lock Mfg. Co., which makes it pre-1884 unless Y&T didn't change the name on the products until later. I think the lock is ~1880 ish. Anyone have any info as to how old/how long this version was actually produced?
