Description: | Incomplete large iron padlock. The padlock comprises a complete cylindrical body measuring 75mm in length by 33mm in diameter. The body has an overlapping collar at either end measuring 14mm in width. Between the collars the body is transverly ribbed, each rib being circa 3mm in width. There are eleven ribs in total. The cylinder has a slot running along the underside from which an incomplete portion of flat iron plate protrudes.
The collar at the locking end of the body protrudes 8mm from the main body, which when viewed straight on has a circular key-hole opening 8mm in diameter at the top, and five moulded ribs radiating from it.
The internal mechanism and part of the connecting external loop is intact, and protrudes from the opposite end to the circular key-hole opening. The looped handle is rectangular in cross-section and splays to connect to the internal mechanism. At this point below the handle is a short curved strip of iron with flattened ends acting as a join between the handle and the mechanism.
The surface is fairly corroded but looks relatively stable. An x-ray of this padlock would be very beneficial. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Daubney, Adam - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
