The next is a Winchester Hardware Co. padlock. Winchester was a big hardware company and actually had about 12 different padlocks available. This one is actually one of the cheaper ones to collect .

I love seeing pictures of your unique and very nice collection. Thank you for sharing. I especially like that last lock, as I come from Cincinnati, Ohio, too. (Was only there for my first few months, but it counts!)

Thanks Gordon. My uncle worked for the Stewart Iron Works when he was younger. He gave me the lock before he passed away, I wish I would have asked him about the history of the company and his job there.
