Old Yale Padlock Identification

Postby l0ckp1cker » 15 Jul 2009 0:28

Hi guys,

I recently acquired these locks and for both of them I do not have a key:

Image Image

The brass one seems to be a warded lock as I don't feel or see any pins or discs inside. The key way has a cover which can rotate freely:
Image

The green padlock has a is a wafer lock, but the weird thing about it is that the discs seem to have false sets like it is a spool pin. There are 5 discs in there.
Image

Also, the locking bolt seems to be directly attached to the plug. When you rotate the plug you see the locking bolt rotate out of the way so the shackle can be retracted.
Image

Both are very interesting locks and I would like to know more about them like how old they are, which model it is, and what's inside.
So if anyone has any info, please let me know! ;)

Thanks!
