1876 brass CLARKE COMBINATION LOCK CO

Here is a recent auction of this popular and large combination padlock. I think this one was a bit pricy given that the combination is not known. Then again, if you do not have one, who knows when your next chance might be...

Up for auction this evening is an estate fresh Antique 1876 brass CLARKE COMBINATION LOCK CO. combo pad lock. The mechanism on the door works great, I do not have the combo but all the buttons push down and when pulled up the all come up, I see no reason why it would not work if you could figure out the combo. It measures 4 inches tall and 2 1/4 inches across, great piece!! Condition is as you see it, Enlarge the photos and zoom in for a closer look and judge for yourself the condition. Guaranteed 100% old and authentic!!! NO RESERVE!!. Please ask all questions before you bid, all sales final. Because all items are found from estates, they are sold As-Is. - eBay (29 Apr 2012)
