Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The paper discusses three recent finds of keyless letter-combination locks dating to the early modern period. Although geographically distant from each other, the fact that the three padlocks in question share many of the same distinguishing characteristics is indicative of their manufacture by a single specialist producer. Alternatively, one manufacturer may have sold blanks to traders who personalized the lock once they found a buyer, in which case the locks are the work of two manufacturers -- a maker and a finisher -- which implies a widespread network of professional and casual makers within the locksmithing trade. | |
