Purchased at an antique auction in Shipshewana Indiana, this large chest lock is a beautiful relic that is a handmade cast iron lock with a working sliding mechanism and an S-shaped ornate skeleton key. The hinged top and holes in the lock make it easy to install on any chest or box. This lock has a medieval castle or gothic decor design with Swedish accents that will add an antique touch to any room.  It measures about 16" in length as shown in pictures. Great Working Condition with no dents or breakage of any kind. There is a bit of rust in back on locking mechanism as shown which can make it hard to turn after long periods of time. I just tapped the c-shaped bar in back that feeds into the mechanism very lightly and it easily slid back. I turned it a few times with the key and put some WD-40 on it as well.
