On the top front it has yale and co stamped, on the back it has stamped Stamford Conn. The larger Yale has a copper top and what looks to be steel base. It also has a club on the back, but no Y&T inside of it. The last one is a horseshoe shaped lock that has good luck stamped on the front. It has a pat. stamp of June 24th 1878
