I especially liked the two Admiralty locks - they show a date of 1836 on them.
And last but not least - the American, hand made, 10 lvs lock - the grandaddy of all the 1105's running around nowdays.

I saw a couple old lever locks at a big flea market the other day, they wanted a hundred dollars for them, way too much for me. What sorts of tools does a guy have to own to pick these old lever locks?
