Ornate German Push Key Story Padlock

Here is an interesting padlock. While it is described as a story lock, it is not one that is consider a true story padlock by the Arnall PADLOCK COLLECTOR guide. At any rate, it is a nice padlock. Be nice to know more about it.

This is the only one of these I have ever seen. It is a push key mechanism with the keyhole on the side. It is in near Mint condition. 2 5/8" tall. Steel. No key. - eBay (7 Nov 2011)

This padlock had an opening bid of $799 (Plus $7.95 Shipping) but received no bids.
