US ARMY ORDNANCE DEPARTMENT MARKED PADLOCK:
A heavy brass padlock manufactured by ILCO – the
Independent Lock Company of Fitchburg, Massachusetts -
and embossed with a finely executed and detailed US Army
Ordnance Department crest. I have seen two other locks,
manufactured by other companies, but the same style of
this one, and in addition to the Ordnance Department
crest they were also stamped “AMMUNITION” and “ARMS
CHEST MODEL 1910”. These locks were also used to secure
the pistol and rifle racks in the barracks. The lock
functions and is complete with the key.
This is a very attractive Ordnance Department item that
is not often encountered and it will be a nice addition
to your collection.
