Old bike locks

[jrassett]

Just had to put these up, found them at a yard sale. First is a Rollfast, not sure about the second. can anyone tell me how old they are? They work great, still have the keys

I love locks of all kinds, don't know much about them but no matter! The red one looks a bit older then the Rollfast lock , that's all I know. Here is a picture of my favorite bike lock.

Thats cool!! do both sides open then?

 

[OldRider]

Just the one side pops open to release the chain but to lock it you pull back on the non opening side and it snaps back in place. I think I was told by someone on CABE that its a German bike lock.

I'm jealous! I like how it says "bike lock"

 

[jrassett]

dumb question but would these have been used with a chain or locked through the bike itself (like through the tire and fork)?

 

[MrColumbia]

They were made to put around the fork and spokes but you could hook a chain up to them if you wanted to. That type of lock was made for a long time, I'm not sure how old yours are.
