Re: Old, Rare, Interesting And Unusual Locks
I was visiting the junkyard at Wilmington, CA to practice my car opening skills when me and a few friends stopped by this lockshop called Alsop! They have a wall full of padlocks, the owner wasn't there so we talked to his wife!
She was saying how her husband collects antique locks and such and she gave me a flier! Here a link to the Westcoast Lock Collectors page:

ok well, it looks to be a schlage wafer lock...
"Years ago, Schlage developed a lock that was thought to be un-pickable – the Schlage Wafer. They are no longer sold and installed, but they still show up in older offices and hotel/motel complexes. Although they can’t be picked with conventional tools, they are a snap to open with the Schlage Wafer picks. Highly recommended if your business takes you into older buildings."

Re: Old, Rare, Interesting And Unusual Locks
here is an interesting, 16-pin/ dimple tubular type crosslock?
i think this lock is very cool. it is solid brass...
not sure on the terminology here, but there appear to be 4 rows of diagonally opposed pinstacks.
i do not have the key, but judging by shape of the keyway, this appears to be a tubular dimple lock.
anyone have any ideas on how to tension this sucker?
