it is very difficult to decide which one is the most interesting exclaims the proud owner but how does he know where to find these rare locks well early in life it was totally random i would physically go to flea markets and ask them purana tala hai kya and they would direct me to various places i would look for antique shops and ask them for locks and after a while people got to know that i collect these antiquities especially the intermediaries who pick up these things from the original sources in villages there are quite a few of them in rajasthan and gujarat came to know about me so if they get to know of any interesting piece of lock they inform me about it they cant sell it to museums because they do not have the funds to purchase them i then pay for their train fare or i go to them to collect the locks it is a very expensive hobby he adds when asked about the prices of these shackles he is quick to reply that he doesnt speak about it because even if i did quote a certain price in 1990 what estimate will it have now since there is no market value
