Hello folks,
Me again with another unknown. For decades it was know as "that old dried out hulk of an antique".
Well, I finally took it apart and, here is what I found.
Lock is in very good shape inside. The mainspring had gone beyond the hardware. That is to say, mainspring was "sprung" beyond the bottom and not engaged. Carefully, I was able to "re-engage it" and when put back in, the trigger, lock work perfectly! Stamped inside the lockset is a crown with cursive letter underneath. Also, there is a stamp in the lockset square, with the letter H in capital.
Have photos and, don;'t know how to put them up. Please help! http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2005-1/931980/006a1a.jpg http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2005-1/931980/003a1a.jpg http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2005-1/931980/009a1.jpg http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2005-1/931980/004a1.jpg http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2005-1/931980/008a1.jpg http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2005-1/931980/011a.jpg http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2005-1/931980/002a.jpg
