We are proud to announce that Horton Brasses now has a locksmith for antique locks. He lives in Vermont and is reproducing a collection of authentic period locks for us. Here are photos of several examples of the work available.
All sizes listed are approximate since each lock is handmade.
It has a friction action, and comes complete with hand worked key. It is complete with the traditional brass dustcover and hand worked key. This is a friction padlock, an authentic copy of a pretty little antique brass lock our locksmith picked up at a flea market. It is supplied with a bronze key and a brass dustcover. I can see this being used on an antique fishing box, an artist's painting case, a jewelry box or even a stage kit.
