Buddy hooked me up with box full of locks. Pretty sweet finds in the mix. Got a couple old railroad lock (owr&n, union), vintage best lock, lion head masters, yale, yale jr, slaymaker and others. Bunch of random laminated locks, older lion keyed masters.

Very nice!. That zinc Best lock is from WW2. The weird grey one in the middle with a key you push in is called a Wise lock.

The best is one my favorite. The union and owr&n are pretty cool too. The union has 2 keys but the core wont turn open. Didnt wanna mess it to much. Pins are springy. To the pm i got, its not letting me respond for some reason to people. But thats info.

The UNION is a push key padlock. You have to push the key into the lock (about a 1/4")push hard then turn.

Glad it worked for you. It's a great lock. And to still have two keys after all this time makes it better.
