What in interesting combination padlock.
ANTIQUE TWO WHEEL CLOCK FACE BICYCLE COMBINATION PADLOCK LOCK NO KEY W/ CODE
THIS EXTRAORDINARY COMBINATION PADLOCK HAS TWO CLOCK FACES. ONE HAS ONLY ONE DIAL AND THE OTHER WITH TWO DIALS. THE DIALS DO ROTATE FREELY. COMBINATION IS KNOWN AND PADLOCK WORKS. TO OPEN YOU SET THE DOUBLE FACE DIALS TO SMALL DIAL on 10, LONGER DIAL on 11, YOU SET THE SINGLE DIAL on 5. THEN YOU PULL IN THE BOTTOM BAR (SEE PICTURE 4) THEN YOU CAN ROTATE THE BAR DOWN (SEE PICTURE 5)
PADLOCK IS IN GREAT CONDITION, NICE PATINA. THE BACK DOES SHOW SOME WEAR WHICH IS NOT UNCOMMON BASED ON AGE.
MARKINGS: THE BAR THAT PIVOTS DOWN TO UNLOCK THE COMBO IS MARKED "WORLD PATENTS" THEN IT HAS A NUMBER WHICH I CANNOT READ CLEARLY.
THE TOP FRONT OF SHACKLE HAS A NUMBER 11
IT IS OLD AND VERY RARE, ONLY ONE I HAVE SEEN AROUND! - eBay (20 Feb 2012)
This padlock had a high bid of $185 (Plus $5.95 Shipping).
