STORY LOCK, JAPAN PATTERN

Here is another rare Story padlock:

Russell and Erwin 1882 fancy cast iron story lock. This lock has the original R&E logo and has the early English Craft Logo on the rear. I don't think the lock was ever used. No rust/pitting and original paint. The lock is mechanically perfect and is supplied with an operating key. The only problem is quite small and involves welding on the toe of the shackle. SIZE: 2.25"w x 3.00"h x 0.625"d. - eBay

This padlock sold for $232.50 (Plus $9.80 Shipping).
