Cast iron American carpenter style lock manufactured by Russell Erwin & Co., circa 1840's.  These locks were the American made equivalent of the English Carpenter lock and an early signed cast iron American lock.  A close-up of the seal below shows Russell Erwin & Co. New Britain CT with an eagle - obviously a copy of the seals used by Carpenter locks but with the American eagle.  The carpenter patented mechanism lifts up and down instead of moving in and out, hence the original cutout keeper.  Lock measures 4 3/8" high x 6 3/4" deep x 3/4" and is not reversible - left hand only.  Original brass knobs are 1 3/4" in diameter.  Brass key escutcheon measures 1 3/4" high x 1 1/8".  Brass rosette is 1 1/2" and our own replacement.  Original brass key is 4 1/8".  Lock is restored, complete, and in excellent condition - ready to install.  Comes with slotted screws.
