Hi

Hi All,

Been a long time since I posted anything. I cruise through and catch up, but never seem to have anything brilliant to say so don't sign in. The other day Mark chastised me for never dropping in, so here I am.

I still don't have anything brilliant to say, but thought I'd share my latest.

I won these Tower 3 Way Double Locks in May. I still can't figure out how to post pics, but Damon offered to help so he will post them shortly.

They came to me in the condition that they appear, but all three cuffs were jammed shut with what I thought (and prayed for) was inner rust. Days and days of Kroil and key wiggling finally freed all three and they all work perfectly now.

There has been some past discussions about what is an authentic 3 Way and what is a put-together. My opinion, the center ring is an authentic Tower ring. That is, curved to mate with the others, the same size and forged closed, not welded. A flat, different size or welded ring, I opine, is sign of latter day handiwork. Any other opinions or anyone have certain knowledge?

Damon has a set of 3 Way Single Locks which I hope he will post a pic of also.

Anyone have a set of Bottom Key 3 Ways?

Brad

Hi Brad - Welcome back.

I have 2 double-locking three ways and 1 single locking three way. I have not seen a bottom key example. You can see picture of mine by clicking on the "gallery" link at the top of the page.

Good talking with you a bit ago.
Nice 3 Ways. Welcome to the club.

A zombie? Oh well, I've been called worse things and I am getting old. Just checked, still have a pulse.

Good talking to you all. Will stay in touch.

Thanks, Damon, for posting.
