<p>[QUOTE="Craig Parton, post: 289900, member: 5837"]Another piece of the puzzle. After disassembling the lock to fix it, it seems some parts of the the lock was made out of scrap sign pieces. I'm not exactly sure what kind of sign, but there is writing on it. One side also seems to have been chromed or painted. The cursive part says "Park Row", and the you see "NEW YORK" to the right hand side. Those are two separate parts, so the writing must have been repeated or there were multiple signs with the same lettering. There seems to be a number before Park row, maybe ending in 82 or 92. You also see a large 4 and 5 on the full pic, as well as a curved "LSE" on another part. I checked google and Park Row is a street in Manhattan, in the financial district. I also attached a few pics showing the lock internals as well as the broken part I need to get welded.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]93733[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]93737[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]93738[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]93740[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]93741[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]93742[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
