      Would you know how old roughly it could be

      This is one style of a "screw key" lock. According to Arnall's "The Padlock Collector" this is a "gun rack lock" made from 1898.

      What are the general price they range from and are they hard to find
    5. UncleRon UncleRon, 9 years ago
      These are scarce but not "rare". SIMILAR, but newer, ones sell on ebay for $10 - $20. I have a pair like this on a set of hand-forged wrist shackles. If I REALLY needed one I might pay up to $35 but I'd expect one to sell for $20 - $25.

      That's not bad as i did not buy for a lot I would be happy if I got around £12 for it
