Found this my stash of stuff, thought you guy would like to see it. Box says it is a spare tire lock for 1926 Ford. Look what is on the box. Thanks for looking Dan

Looks a lot like the old bicycle locks we used to use as kids. I wonder if they just changed the label on the box? Dave

Nice find Mr. Hatch


Here is the original release on that long extension lock, and the pieces that lock each end, those are part of the lock.

Dec. 1926


And the Fraim company had been in business a long time, here is adv. from earlier years.

1913


Of course those 'bicycle' locks, were extension types that came about in the early twenties.
This one from auto parts catalog of the day.

1923

Looks like I am missing the two pieces that are showing in the picture Dan posted. I will have to watch for them . Thanks

I learn something new every day.

Because long shackle padlocks were used for locking bicycles as you posted earlier, whenever I run across one at an estate sale, I just pass it over.

Going forward, if I see one I'll be sure to determine if it is a Fraim or similar spare tire lock and worth picking up.

Those extension locks were also sold for car security..... ala 'The Club' twenties style
