Unlocking an old Scandinavian steamer trunk with a warded lock

This is an antique Scandinavian steamer trunk whose key was lost decades ago.

Today I unlocked this old steamer trunk. It had a warded lock with a spring latch. Once I got it open I removed the lock so that the owner could shut the lid without it locking again.

The trunk is an old Scandinavian one dated 1925. The design reminds me of family heirlooms from my Danish grandparents.

This is an antique Scandinavian steamer trunk lock I picked open today. It was full of dead spiders and other bugs.
