Katz Combination Lock with Box, Tag and Instructions

This is a pretty cool padlock. Seems that the last one I saw was in 2009 (Here).







Made by National Mfg & Lock Co. With the original box, combination tag and instructions. To open the lock use the instructions on the instruction sheet with the numbers on the tag, not the numbers on the sheet. It took me a couple of tries but as you can see in the photos, I was able to open the lock. The box is complete but not in great shape - it is loose and tape was used on some corners. The lock itself looks like it was never used. - eBay (20 Nov 2013)
This padlock had a high bid of $472.99 (Plus Free Shipping).

SILVER COIN PADLOCK CHARM & KEY 1916 GEORGE VII FARTHING WWI

This is another interesting variation of the coin padlock. Seems to be a nice steady stream of these kinds of padlocks coming around.






This is for a nice little hand made padlock and key. The lock is made from two silver coins and comes complete with a key that operates it. The front shows George VII and the reverse is a farthing dated 1916. It is in excellent condition, fully working and it measures 20mm (0.75") in diameter. - eBay (17 Nov 2013)

This padlock had a high bid of 38.67 British Pounds/$62.22 (Plus 3.90 Pounds Shipping).
