<p>[QUOTE="808 raver, post: 9700244, member: 4654"]"So far I haven't found any kind of reference. (There must be forums for lock geeks somewhere out there....)" Looking for a flat key lock date was my first port of call before I even commented but I couldn't find any definitive answer. I have 130 ish boxes dating from 1760's to 1920's and none of them have that kind of lock and that with the finish patches made me think it might have been later, although everything else about the box said 1880's-1900. I still think continental but the truth is I don't exactly know.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
