The body is a hollow box with the locking mechanism inside. The front and back are separate panels; the side section is one piece with two rectangular slots; one to secure the pivoting end of the arm and the other to accommodate the locking end of the arm. There is a tongue and groove joint connecting the two ends of the side section. The front panel has the key hole. The back panel has a central perforation and a second more irregular perforation in the top right corner directly over the locking mechanism for the arm. The arm has a circular cross-section that becomes flattened with a rectangular cut-away to connect with the locking mechanism. Dimensions: length: 110mm; width: 72.57mm; thickness: 16.59mm; weight: 182.33g.Identification and dating by Tony Pilson and Ian Smith based on foreshore context.
