American "1842" antique rim lock, one of the earliest cast iron reversible rim locks, patented in the 1840's and again in the 1850's. Lock is reversible due to the patented latch that is beveled on all sides while the keeper has a large lip. This latch and keeper allowed the lock to be reversed simply by turning it over and mounting it on whichever side of the door you wished. Lock is restored and complete with cast iron trim and original brown swirl mineral knobs that did not use a side-knob screw. The lock side knob is pinned directly onto the spindle while the off-side knob mounts into the rosette which keeps it in place. Locks measure 4 1/4" x 3 1/4" without the keeper which is 7/8" and locks are keyed. Lock has an embossed seal with the patent dates of 1842 and 1856 (shown in close-up below) showing when mounted as left hand only - right hand side is plain. Complete with all original knobs, rosette, key escutcheon, and keyed. Night latch at the top locks the knobs for privacy without using the keyed dead bolt. Restored, complete, and ready to install - comes with screws. (Directions for installation assistance can be provided upon request).
