(1872) Antique Wafer Lock with Side Pins

In video 1872 we'll look at an unusual antique wafer lock that incorporates side pins into the design. Alex from LA loaned me this lock - probably to contribute to my looonnnngggg list of gutting failures. Surprisingly, it worked out fine.
===========
Bill, the oversized cylinder you have was patented in 1889 on July 30th by Thomas Taylor. He was an inventor for the Norwalk Lock Company. He was paid ONE DOLLAR for the patent as he was already a Norwalk employee during it's design. Oddly the sidepins were not for security, but rather a countermeasure to key & tumbler wear. The lock was expensive in it's time. Combine that with keyblanks that were hard to come by, (and as you now know) huge keyhole and decreased pick protection, as well as a dispute by Mr. Taylor, it was (and even more so now) fairly rare. A masterkeyed version was also made that was so sloppy an ice cream stick could be employed to jiggle it open. Patent #408147. I am now a watcher of your video series! --Vince
