Streeter has another article on stock locks in the same bulletin but I
can't find it at the moment. I got both through JSTOR.

Subject: Carpenter & Company Locks
Does anyone know of a good book on Carpenter door Locks that would help
date
these things. Online sources seem to disagree on whether they were
imported
to U.S. prior to a supposed patent date of 1830. ( I am looking for
something other than the brief section in Ivor Noel Hume's Artifact
Guide).
I've seen information on how to use marks on the "keeper," the part that
is
mounted on the door frame, but am curious whether we can use the style
of
the round brass plate on the main part of the lock to establish a date.
Any help would be much appreciated. (and if someone out there is an
expert
on these locks, and can help me, I could send them a digital picture of
the
artifacts in question)
Thank you for your time.
