A continuation of "1898 Safe Deposit_Lock" (which should be 1892)...

I spent some time, and a good bit of WD-40, cleaning up the old safe deposit box lock. After some research, I found that it is most likely made by Eagle Lock Corporation under US Patent #481736 (http://www.google.com/patents/US481736) and features a novel single-keyway guard/renter safe deposit lock system. 

Interestingly, the lock I have does not use the full mechanism described in the patent. However, the castings have all the right bits, so this was either an "upgrade" feature or something they decided not to implement.
