Cool lock. Squire are one of the few remaining lock makers in the Black Country. For the the best part of 200 years the Black Country was the international centre for lock making. My forefathers worked there, going back 7 generations (if you include me). Indeed, my great, great, great, great grandfather was the first to open a locksmiths on Wood Street, Willenhall, predating the Chubb and Yale headquarters (along with many, many others).

Assa Abloy have not swallowed them up just yet! :D

It probably fell off of a Land Rover petrol filler.

I believe that lock is still made. Most are brass.
