Old Yale Lever Padlock

I came across this a while ago, its been sitting in a box in my room for a long time. Anyone have any kind of info on this, dates or what not when these type of locks were in use? I've attached a couple pics.
The lock itself has no info on it except for YALE stamped on the back side. The key has GNRV stamped on one side and A2856 stamped on the other side.

Re: Old Yale Lever Padlock

My grandfather got some warded locks that look like yours from TVA (Tennesse Valley Authority), they built the tennessee damns to provide power to the under privelaged a long time ago, along with several other projects...



for more info...
my grandfather quit working for TVA 54 years ago... these locks are atleast that old since he got them before he quit lol. yours are obviously not from tva, but since lever locks have been around forever i thought maybe the body stile comparison coule get you a closer date.

now your key looks a little different (im talking bow not "bitting" lol) you may have a newer model or aftermarket key... or since its a lever lock it has a different bow?
