The MOTTO "Dors Fichet Veille" may be FRENCH

As Google says it MAY translate as "Sleep The Watch"

I do NOT KNOW how this lock works or what it was designed to secure

I would guess that this is of German or European construction

WORTHY addition to your key or locks collection

Circa 1850's - 1900's?

ONLY ONE (1) old lock WITHOUT a KEY is offered here

Any others shown/seen? are individually listed

I do have several other very OLD and LARGE antique keys, locks, padlocks and safe plaques that I hope to get listed SOON

Also antique Safe logo Plaques and escutcheons

Always happy to COMBINE items to save you on postage costs
