Here is a real interesting seal padlock. I am not sure the role of the lever. The lock front will only open when the shackle is open as you can see that on the top inside a part of the door locks with the shackle when it is closed.The dimples hold some piece of paper and there is a door to protect the paper seal. In all an interesting design.
This padlock had a high bid of $560 (Plus $14 Shipping). I had received an email from a reader who mentioned that the value of this padlock was more like $3,000.UP FOR YOUR BIDDING CONSIDERATION IS AN EXTREMELY RARE ANTIQUE PADLOCK AND KEY SET.
