As promised, I have a package with some great antique Yale locks - including what I am calling a "handbag" lock. Then, we'll pick an antique mail lock, designed to count how many times it was opened. The mail lock comes to me from Chris Capune.

Got this rusty mess on eBay for $5. Worried I had bought a paperweight. But, with some serious effort, I cleaned it and made a key for it. The result is a real OhMyGawd transformation.")

Been a while, I know. Today, I have two Yale Banjo locks, from use in the rail yards, and a beautiful Yale dual custody lock from OSU (Ohio State University). Dual custody means two keyways, and two different owners can open the lock, without having the same key. And, well end by doing a quick pick on the Yale dual custody lock.")

Yes, I think I have become obsessed. Bought this almost black brass Wilson Bohannon lock, with my favorite version of their logo. Lots of lighter fluid and Houdini lock lube made it operate smoothly. Brasso made it shine.")
