Title: Value of Very Old YALE Padlock (1876)
Post by: Shabz on April 19, 2013, 08:43:45 AM

Hi guys, so I'm new and like, instead of making and introduction on the other forums and then making a separate post here, I thought I'd do it all in one! :D
Anyway, I'm Shabz, from the UK, i have no idea about anything to do with antiques, never had an antique in my life, however, recently while doing some spring cleaning, I came across this old Yale padlock and the dates on the back date back to the 1800's. Now apparently it was my granddad's who passed away in the 1990's, and somehow my dad still has it in his possession. Now I have no idea how much this thing could be worth, therefore, I found you guys :)
Any help? Here are the pictures.

Just because it was patented then doesn't mean it was actually made then...just thought you should know!

Nice piece...good brand...SHOULD bet $25 - $35 for it (with age and wear).
