An 1850's version of the 1842 patented cast iron reversible rim lock, patent dates in the impressed patent seal are Dec. 1842 and Dec. 1856 (only impressed on the right hand side of the lock body - showing when mounted as right hand).  One of the earliest cast iron reversible rim locks manufactured in America.  Lock is the same on both sides with a latch that is beveled on all sides while the keeper has a large lip for the latch to ride on.  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 to a black finish and complete with 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. (Directions for installation assistance can be provided upon request).  Lock measures 4 3/4" x 3 3/8" without the 7/8" original keeper.  The heart night latch at the top locks the knobs for privacy without using the keyed dead bolt.  Complete with all cast iron trim and keyed and ready to install.
