Any body recognise it or seen one before. I would love some info on it. Cheers Arry Did you find anything out about the unusual design Arry? I have a theory. Possibly started off as a rectangular shape and was riveted or nut and bolted to a metal strong box. Someone wanted the hasp off or getting into the box not having the key and ground off the corners? The lever part could also possibly have latched into a mechanical locking mechanism and they did not have the key. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
