Hi from a little country town in the state of Victoria, not far from Melbourne.
A little bit about me... I've been collecting padlocks and keys for a long time now and have a few door locks in the collection now.
Talk to me about Australian Lockwood (now owned by Assa Abloy), old Yale, Victorian Railways padlock and my love of nickel silver keys, the older, the better!
My avatar pic is an Australian made 5 pin padlock, with an American Lockwood logo, which, the boys from Lockwood in Huntingdale tell me is pre-WW2.
Favourites that I have are a some French combination padlocks, a bunch of bronze bodied Yale padlocks (one which is pre 1870 - Yale Mfg Co) and a recent purchase - a stainless steel padlock from Bramah of London.
Cheers, Mickthepick.
