CIRCA 1856 ADAMS RIM LOCK SET w/KEY, KEEPER, PORCELAIN KNOBS, RESTORED (41064)

Description: Two identical available as the auction begins. We are in process of restoring three more that match this model. In 1842 Calvin Adams of Pittsburgh registered the patent for this lock. He claimed in the patent that the lock was 'double faced' so that it could be reversed. He apparently redesigned the keeper style and applied for another patent in 1856 & 1857 for a reversible keeper. Somewhere along the line, Adams ended up having his locks forged by the McKee Foundry along one of the rivers that come together in Pittsburgh. They are still found today so we know they were of high quality and, presumably, were easily marketed by hardware vendors up and down the river system running thru Eastern Pennsylvania and into Ohio, West Virginia and the mid-West where they can still sometimes be found in antique stores. In fact, today the locks are sometimes found with original Bennington knobs. This Adams is a nice and it is all original, great worn patina. Patent dated 1857 on the keeper. A key is included that functions perfectly. Also included is the key escutcheon for the other side of the door as well as the knob escutcheon plate for the exterior of the door. The lock is reversible. BOX: This particular box measures about 5 3/4" wide by 3 3/4" high, keeper is matching. BACKSET: The back sets is 3 7/8" to the center of the knob hole. LOCK KEY: One large Taylor key is provided with the lock and it works great. ESCUTCHEONS: The set comes with the key escutcheon for the large key and the knob escutcheon. SAFETY LOCK: The safety flip lock on the top of the lock works great. KNOBS: A set of vintage black porcelain knobs is included as pictured. THIS IS THE LAST OF THE FOUR SETS WE RESTORED.
