Old Mickey Mouse Ears Smokehouse Lock with Key round flat basket the bottom half reveals aThis old lock is somewhat rusty, but with a little effort it still locks and unlocks great, and I really love the fully rounded "ears" on it that really make it look just like a Mickey Mouse silhouette.

Iron and brass, and at least a hundred years old I believe. 3 5 8" tall x 2 9 16" wide
