I'm looking to purchase 12 functional (keys included) jail padlocks that would be present in an 1820s jail, specifically circa. 1823 and used in the NE United States. The locks must have keys and in good to fine condition. No reproductions.

Please provide photos and historical background of the locks (mfg, historical use etc.)

Top dollar will be paid to the best specimens.

Thanks,

Greg

PS- I collect skeleton keys and emblematic doorknobs from government buildings, especially The White House or U.S. and state Capitols...front door and interior doors. Must have proof of authenticity and provenance.
