The William Powell lock in question. This is a Powell patent lifter HG circa 1871 with what appears to be best quality locks by J.Grainger. There were four J. Graingers in Wolverhampton during this period. On close inspection of both locks it looks like the E was punched with an F tool. Missing, broken, couldn't find it?? Who knows....




Better to keep your mouth shut and be thought stupid,than open it and confirm.
