'Acme 6 Levers'

Hey - picked this beauty up at a flea market for 10 dollars. Sadly, there is no key for it. It says 'Acme 6 levers Eagle lock co terryville, CT, U.S.A.'
It's a push-key lever lock (or whatever the term is).
I have no hopes of picking this badboy. A little out of my league.

I know taking a wire brush to these antiques takes away any value from them but I had to - it was too ugly for my liking.

Re: 'Acme 6 Levers'

There's something about restoring a lock to its former glory that calls to me. That Yale's numbers on the bottom of the lock weren't visible at all before, nor were the numbers on the shackle of the Eagle lock.
