CAST BRONZE MEDUSA STORY PADLOCK

Very nice and apparently very rare as well.

THIS AUCTION IS FOR A VERY RARE CAST BRONZE ''STORY PADLOCK''. IT WAS MADE IN 1989 BY JOHN LOCK LTD. AS A LIMITED EDITION COLLECTABLE PADLOCK. THERE WERE ONLY 19 MADE. THIS LOCK IS NUMBER 2 AS SHOWN IN THE PHOTO OF THE SHACKLE HOLE. THE LOCK IS IN NEW CONDITION WITH ITS LACQUER FINISH STILL INTACT. THE LOCK COMES WITH ITS ORIGINAL PAPERS AND EXPLANATION.

THE LOCK MEASURES 3 INCHES WIDE, 4 1/16 INCHES HIGH, 1 3/16 INCHES THICK. IT HAS A YALE PIN TUMBLER MECHANISM WITH TWO ORIGINAL KEYS. THIS IS A TRULY RARE LOCK I'VE NEVER SEEN ONE ON EBAY BEFORE AND PROBABLY NEVER WILL AGAIN. THIS IS NOT A REPRODUCTION. BUT AN ORIGINAL CREATION BY A VERY TALENTED LOCKSMITH. - eBay (18 Oct 2009)

This padlock had a high bid of $1,250 (Plus $6 Shipping).
