1876 Clarke U.S. Treasury Lock

Here is another recent example of a 1876 Clarke U.S. Treasury Combination Padlock.

Very nice and collectable Clarke Combination lock made for the U.S. Treasury . The dial cover has the Pat. dates of Feb. 4; 1873, June 15; 1875 and Reissued Feb, 29; 1876. This newly patented lock was displayed at the U.S. Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia in 1876 where it recieved awards. The company The lock comes with the combination and works very well. The combination on these locks can be changed and if I can find the directions to do this I will send a copy with the lock. - eBay (17 July 2012)
