Nowadays most locks are boring number codes….birthdays, phone digits…..blah! A hundred years ago you could lock up your treasures with your favorite word! or perhaps the name of a lover (scandal!) I think we can all agree that society has regressed…..
Antique Combination Locks with codes: "EMMA", "LADY" AND "ALBERT" ..the fourth code is unknown (I've tried).
(For sale at www.van-royen.com! So you can try your hand at the fourth lock…)
