    Default A Few Chubb Patent Detector Locks

    Here's a few I've managed to find-the older 57 St.Paul's Churchyard lock is definitely the nicest of the three.
    Note on the other two later locks the 'Maker's to His Majesty' on the one, and 'Her Majesty' on the other.

    Could only find one Hobb's at the moment and it's not actually a Patent lock, but I've included it anyway since Dicey mentioned how clear some of these old locks were marked- these later Hobb's cabinet locks had noticeably deep stampings, and combined with their characteristic 'H' shaped window cut in the cover, makes for an attractive lock.
