I hope the owner of that padlock websight has changed the default password on his router. I clicked on one of the links and a Router login screen came up. It looked just like my old netgear login, I sure wouldn't want anyone to have remote access to my router.
I hope you'll agree it's quite an interesting collection.
Some of them look like they are lever padlocks as opposed to wards and tricks, but I wonder how many.
I also wonder whether your typical 19th century consumer preferred a "trick lock" with wards, or a 4-5 lever padlock that actually offers some security.
Those are some interesting locks! I'd really like to know more about how they work....
Just out of curosity, have any of the moderators or administrators ever though about having a new section just for old locks? I think it wouldn't be a bad idea.

He has an amazing lock collection only a small part of which is on the net. To amass stuff like this you need LOADS of $$$$$$$ (or pounds in this case).
