I’ve been trying to find a diagram or even a photo of the same internals, but it’s very difficult to find a matching one. This is a Russell & Erwin mortise lock and there is a 100 stamped inside. It has space for two keys, and there’s a missing toggle switch or something above the latch. I know one spring is makeshift. I just don’t know what kind of springs I need to order to replace since I don’t have a similar lock to reference. Anyone have this lock or a similar one so I can see what’s supposed to be inside?

Found a garage sale where the guy had probably 60 cast iron pans. Unfortunately he didn’t know how to get some rusty ones clean and hit some good ones with an angle grinder and really tore some up. I bought the ones I could afford that weren’t touched by the grinder. $25 each. Some of these I’ve never heard of. Who makes Wardway? And Puritan? Any value there? The drip drop lid doesn’t fit on any but I bought it anyway to see if it fit any of mine. No luck.
