ANTIQUE 17TH CENTURY ORNATE GERMAN STEEL DOOR LOCK GOTHIC MEDIEVAL DESIGN!!  n1

 

This eBay listing is for a sweet find...its an antique 17th century ornate German steel door lock that was hand made by a master craftsman back in the day!!  I just love the old gothic/medieval look and design to this piece!!    Sadly, I don't know anything at all about items of this time period but someone wrote on a piece of paper on the back: A German Steel Door Lock Lath 17th.   This comes from a local estate auction of a museum that was selling off some older items to make room for fresh inventory.     The overall size is 8.25" tall and about 4" across at the widest points.   I can press on the lever at the very bottom and it pushes up inside and returns just fine.   I'm unsure on what to check out or test other than this.   If you collect this type of item or just old antique locks in general - be sure to check out my other listings for a few other door locks from the same estate!!  

 

Here is a little piece I found on Google about this style lock:

 

The period from the 14th through the 17th century was one of artistic accomplishment by superb craftsmen. Locksmiths were skilled metalworkers who were becoming internationally famous. They were invited to construct special locks for noblemen throughout Europe. Using designs of coats-of-arms and symbolic shapes, they devised intricate wards and bits for locks and keys and were inspired to produce increasingly ornamental locks to harmonize with the architecture of their clients' estates or castles. However, there were few improvements in locking mechanisms. Security depended upon intricacies such as hidden keyholes, trick devices, and complicated warding.

 

If you collect locks - be sure to check out my other listings on Ebay at this time.   I'll have a few other locks online that I got fresh from a central PA estate sale!!

PAYMENTS

 

We accept PAYPAL, plus other options like local pickup for FREE and coming soon - ProPay!!      We do ship ASAP upon payment as noted above within 1 business day 95% of the time!!    We do file Non Paying Bidder Alert with Ebay for non-payments!!!  

 

Furthermore, Ebay's new payment rules of requiring all Ebay bidders to use an online electronic form of payment like Paypal, Propay, etc... which has scared away many of my loyal and repeat customers who do not have this form of payment method available.   DO NOT let this be an obstacle to your bidding on any of my items!!   I welcome all bids, even from those bidders who do not have a Paypal account.

 

 

BID IN CONFIDENCE – CHECK MY FEEDBACK!

 

 

My goal is your satisfaction.   I leave positive feedback right after the payment is received for all payments!!   If you plan to leave anything less than positive feedback and 5 stars - please let me know so that I can work out any problems that you may have.

 

 

INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS - PLEASE READ

 

Attention all international bidders - I welcome bids from all around this great world of ours!!   But please note that I only ship outside of the United States via USPS (United States Postal Service) by Priority Mail ONLY unless its a smaller item in which case I can ship via USPS First Class mail if the value is under $25.00 in value.   The only exception is with the country of Italy.   All purchases from Italy will only be shipped via USPS Priority Mail.   This is for both your protection, speedy delivery of your purchase and for delivery confirmation/tracking.     If the item is electronics related - note that the power in the United States is 110/120v and most international locations are 220/230v which means you'll need a proper voltage converter.     Please feel free to contact me for a S&H quote but please do so upto 24 hours before the auction ends.   I'm not always home in front of my computer when my many listings end.   Please also be aware of your countries shipping policies with importing items from the United States as some have various taxes, custom dues, VAT taxes, etc....  

 

  • Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer’s responsibility.
