Title
A post medieval iron barrel padlock dating to the 17th century.
Description
English: A post medieval iron barrel padlock dating to the 17th century. The padlock has a hollow, cylindrical body with a slot to secure the arm and one end is open. The other end has a plate with a horizontal slot key hole and it extends up in a rectangular tab again with a rectangular slot through which the arm attaches and articulates. The arm sits flush with the body and then curves to accommodate something with a circular cross-section before the expanded circular terminal slots into the body. The terminal has a rectangular hole and a more complex hole through which the spring barbs would have fitted. The internal mechanism and spring barbs are missing. There is a maker's mark "TW" on the arm just before the rounded terminal. Just below the maker's mark there is a stamped T-shaped pattern of punched dots.

Geoff Egan suggests a date of around the 17th century and states that as this is too small for a horse it is most likely from a warehouse.

.Dimensions: Diameter of body: 30.54mm; length: 108.90mm; width: 74.11mm; weight: g.
