antique lock identification

[Slim-pickins]

I was wondering if someone can give me a link to a site that may help to identify a few antique locks that I have. I've found a few decent sites but none of them really tell how to "date" an old lock. If anyone at this site is good at that sort of thing...I can send a few pics. Thanks..

Just post a pic here. There are a lot of lockies (not including myself) who know a ton about old locks.

Better than any other site, I can assure you.

Ok, I took a few close up photos of the 2 locks but am having trouble finding a way to post the pics as attachments... will someone please tell me how to post pics here so that I can maybe have them identified?...thanks..

Hi and welcome!

Find a site that will share your photos by googling "share photos" or click
HERE

Now upload all your photos to that site and after you have done that,
post them here on LP101, by making a link that looks like this:



Look for the [IMG] CODE

If the photo is very big, make the link look like this:

[url=http://The name of your photo sharing site/Picture.jpg/?
action=view&current=picture.jpg]Photo Description[/url]

Look for the link that starts with: http://
and then add

[url=http://][url=http://]Your Link Description[/ url][/url]
