Ford spare tire lock NOS
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-

Re: Ford spare tire lock NOS
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
1925 mostly original coupe.

Re: Ford spare tire lock NOS
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

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.
