Banbury Lock Any Idea Of Age

[crafties]

Hi Guys,

Another nice lock has come this way again. It is an old Banbury lock in fully working condition, just needed a small bit of a clean up. The only thing that I can say about the lock is that from what we can see the key looks to have been forged and not cast.

When the timber housing was made for this the maker seems to have split the timber and made up an S out of metal to stop the split from running.
I have attached the before and after pics for you all to look at and have a guess at the age.



This is the lock after a small clean up.


Thanks For Looking
Alan
