    Default 5 old padlocks I dug up

    Hello all, I have a feeling I've registered for this forum in the past as the name Bower bird was already taken.

    Yesterday while out metal detecting in dune of beach that has a old wharf on it I found a buried mini rubbish dump pile which included these 5 vintage/antique padlocks.

    Can I please get some help IDing the makers marks on them?

    The largest one of them that still has it's sliding dust cover has written on it - REG TRADE MARK with a makers mark of a face and HANDMADE SECURE 8 LEVER. I got the dust cover on it and the other one that still has its one working.

    The small brass lock has- CHADMOOR ENGLISH MADE, DOUBLE LOCKING ENGLISH LEVER and a owl face looking symbol.

    Another one has that owl face symbol as well as a different makers mark and TUMBLING LOCK.
