SIMMON’S WIRELESS C.Q.D. - Titanic S.O.S. Padlock






6917. SIMMON’S WIRELESS C.Q.D. - Titanic S.O.S. Padlock, c.1910-17, described in www.antique-padlocks.com as “ "C.Q.D." also known as "SIMMON'S WIRELESS" also known as "Titanic SOS". 2 13/16" high x 2" wide. Brass. 1 Lever, 4 Wards. Flat Key. Mfg by: Slaymaker. Made for: Simmons Hardware Co.” , additional information from the same site goes on to say “This padlock was offered in the Simmons Hardware Co. catalogs of 1910 thru 1917. The Titanic sank on April 15, 1912 which leads me believe that this padlock was adopted as the commemorative for the Titanic instead of being made to commemorate the Titanic. “ C.Q.D. was the telegraph distress call used by ships until 1908 when it was changed to S.O.S., lock is in good condition with a nice patina, no key. - eBay (17 June 09)

This padlock had an opening bid of $125 (Plus $7.70 Shipping) but failed to attract any bidders.
