My two flea market finds

I found this PO box lock at the flea market today. Pretty cool, with a key too!

The preview shows the pic sideways, Photobucket fixed that so hopefully it'll update!
And found this Corbin padlock that was used by the A.T.&S.F. Railway. (That's Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe) :

Both locks are working great, with a little graphite shot in their guts to smooth things up!

Re: My two flea market finds

That padlock is interesting. Have you picked it? Is that the brand or a marking of the past owner?

Can I see the keyway?

The code is hidden in the tumblers. One position opens the lock, another position opens one of these doors...

Xeo, AT&SF is Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe Railway, aka Santa Fe. (Now BNSF) The padlock is a Corbin. Haven't picked it yet, as I just got it home. Will try in a bit and post on here how it went. :)
Actually the mail box door is Corbin too! Hmm two Corbins in one day.

Here's the keyway for the padlock: Image
(the silver around the keyway appears to be lead, no idea why but it's soft like lead)

I have another PO box door with a combo dial and it has the glass too, although no numbers. They are indeed cool locks.
