That is cool ! Possibly to a jewelry box or used as a charm .Another bit of proof that those zinc signals can sometimes be worth digging .
 
When we were kids, we all had pirate's chest banks like this one with locks just like that.

How old do you think it is Hook, 1880's 1890's? A great little lock. Any writing on it anywhere?

it was in the yard of a house built in 1890. and no writing anywhere on it that i can see. its a cool find any way you look at it :)
