Crouching Lion
This one comes from the private collection of Mr. V. Raghunathan, President of ING Vysya Bank. It's a original 10.5 x 8 x 3 cms made of brass, est. to be from later 19th to early 20th century. 'A rare lock, it displays an amazing understanding of topology by the master craftsman of Aligarh. All attempts to insert the key into the keyhole will typically be unsuccessful! Interestingly, it is impossible to design a key which can be inserted into the keyhole directly, says the label.'

ReplyDeleteWhat a remarkable set of keys!
ReplyDeleteThese vintage keys and locks are awesome in their own special way. These things never rust, and what’s more interesting is that when they get older, their value increases as well. If I were to pick one among these locks, I’d pick the second to the last padlock. :P
