    Default S&G model #3 timelock.

    This is an extremely fine and early example of a Sargent & Greenleaf model No: 3 timelock circa 1876. There are a number of features which confirm the early design. The fine engraving and large proud hinges together with the 46 hour movements all point to such an early date.

    The movements are a little later than the case, being circa 1880, the original ones would have had black dials. Note also the absence of the ' Geneva Gear ' which prevents over-winding of the mainspring.

    My thanks for John Errol, for dating this lock and for parting with it.

    Default My S&G Model 3

    Here are pix of my much later S&G Model 3 time lock. I was also fortunate to receive the provenance as to which bank it came from, when & hiow. (Brooklyn, NY, 1972, Chemical Bank, from businessman next door to branch being demolished)

    I'm whittling down my collection in order to concentrate on my core interest of WW2 military radar ECM & IFF. The eBay listing is #
    252388874292. This lock is in like new condition & would make a wonderful addition to anyone's collection.

    Default eBay auction for S&G Type 3 bank vault time lock

    This beautiful time lock would sit forever as a Buy It Now, so I've relisted it in 10-day auction format, listing #252418071762.
