"Now if only I had a paperclip!"
Looks like a ward lock to me, you'd need more than two paper clips or a hook pick and wrench
Love the colors and texture.
Great!!
I agree with Lynne. Love the colors and the texture.
great colors :)
That lock itself must weigh at least 10 pounds.
Very cool lock shot, i love it!
i'd love to c the key for that! great pic!!
i've noticed that close ups on old things always come out good
I love this shot. What a small key that must have been to fit in that lock! When we think of prison keys in old-time penitentiaries, we often think of large, jangly keys, not the kind that fit this type of lock.

On a side note, I'll bet this lock was made by the York Safe and Lock Company way back in the day. Although a lot of those industries are dying now, York is a town full of factories (a lot of them are abandoned, Motts! You should come back and visit again!) and many everyday things are/were made there.
