Here’s a padlock (I guess) been in the family since forever. I broke the key off in the lock about age 3-5 about 1940. It was in a junk drawer in the kitchen with all kinds of good stuff for a kid to play with.
The broke off piece was in there a long time - gone now. I tried to look it up in/on the Segal website. That was a waste of time. Downloaded an old catalog. Not a clue in it and finally lost patience with it.
Anyway how can I get info on it? What is it called? What used for? Age? Can I get a new key from the key number? The cylinder has 4 letters stamped on: F A C C Weighs 2-3 lbs. It appears to be brass clad in 1/8” iron or steel.
