Oh my, oh my ...... Lock porn in the extreme

Many thanks for sharing that. I'll be taking a closer look at my leisure

Wonderful, wonderful locks.

Mark... you can not just drop pics like this without a warning man. Now I have to clean up all of drool. Amazing collection. That American dimple caught my eye real quick. I am also very interested in seeing or reading about the collection displays. Is that a swivel book type display? Please share more!!!! Thanks

[Oldfast]

Marvelous display of history... and of collecting. Just marvelous! Thanks for sharing Mark!!

I spot me a J.B.M.K.L 4th photo down... right next to the German combo lock.
Do you have the combination for it? I don't see a tag hanging from it like the rest.

I see a great many locks I've never seen before. Great stuff. Look forward to more.

I take it that American dimple lock is one of them where LSA modified a KABA Micro to fit? Have been wanting to do that myself, but keep getting distracted.

Beautiful part of your collection that you presented here. Thank you.

Oldfast, All my locks have working keys or working combos. most of the combos have a paper tag on their back with the combo, and the others have the combo stamped on brass tags.

Gordon, Yeah I copied LSA on that one. Only difference was I was able to turn the KABA cyl. inside of the American barrel to get the key slot aligned with the cyl. retainer plate on the bottom of the lock. viewtopic.php?f=111&t=5639&start=15

Oldfast, All my locks have working keys or working combos....

Well shucks, lol. Here I thought I'd found both a friend & a lock in need of Oldfast. lol
Another one that caught my eye is what looked to be a Gougler cutaway.
I'll have to eventually do that with one of mine.

40+ years of collecting and restoring locks is not going to fit into one post. lol
So I look forward to seeing more when you decide to take some more photos.
