Locks marked ‘LS’?
« on: March 27, 2019, 04:23:54 AM »
Any ideas who may have made it?

Herman Stone. His operation was called “Locks and Stuff”. He stamped LS on the inside of the lock plate. Mostly large Siler locks. He was at Friendship in the late 80s - early 90s. Nice guy.

Herman lived in SE Illinois and had the lowest prices on locks.

Actually, Herman Stone lived just outside Asheville, NC.  He came over to our shop frequently and bought Siler lock kits to assemble.  And, yes, he marked the locks he assembled with his "LS" stamp.
