Gents:
Here is a nice set of photos of an early 19th century Truitt lock I thought you all might enjoy.
Truitt, from Philadelphia, was a gunsmith and importer of English locks.

It's a left lock with a flat plate, and marked "TRUITT BROS & Co." It has remains of engravings and borders, anti-friction rollers on the frizzen spring.

Glad you enjoyed,

It's my new thing, I'll be on the look out for American made or used items as i look through the auctions. I recently found a trade axe that looks nothing like any trade axe I've ever seen. I will post it on Accoutrements in the near future.

Best regards!
