Anyone ever heard of this lock?

[Kumo]

In my tackle box full of locks and keys, there is an old pin-tumbler padlock. It was painted green at one point, the only remaining paint is now on the bottom of the solid body, and some left around the shackle holes and rivets. On the front of the lock is a logo, the word "Fraim". It appears to have four pins, maybe five, with a simple keyway. The keyway much resembles that of a Master #5, without the small ward that would fit into the corresponding groove on the key. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

nice thread bump....

Though as his last post was 18 months ago I doubt he is still a visitor here....but locksmiths are known for their patience so you never know!

fraim is a very old american company, out of business long ago I think, I have some old padlocks from that company with the hinged shackle and some sort of lever tumblers. you should be able to find more about them at oldlocks.com or somewhere.
