SILVER OLD COIN PADLOCK

Here is another coin padlock. This one is interesting in that it has an older coin that has been used in the other examples.

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)

1821 Silver Crowns (x2) - Fashioned into a working PADLOCK 200 Years Ago

I think one of the coolest things about this coin padlock is the size. Most of the ones that I have seen are about the size of a US dime. This one is huge compared to those.

UK Padlock made of 2 silver coins

I love miniature padlock and these are my favorite miniature padlock. I think that these were probably some project that apprentice locksmiths made as part of their training. However I am only guessing at that. Still, very cool.

 

This padlock seems to be slightly different from the others that I have seen and profiled in this blog which were made from three pence coins. This one is made from a four pence coin. Is this why the seller was asking for hundreds more Dollars than the others??? I do not see that as a reason to pay more and perhaps that is why this padlock did not sell.

Made of 2 Tiny English Victorian 4 pence "Groat" silver coins with steel inner parts. Beautiful top quality work went into making this sweetheart. This little gem of a lock is Victorian or Early Edwardian handwork. It is the smallest precision working lock I ever saw and if it was locked you would have to pick it or tear it up to open it. - eBay (22 Feb 2013)

This padlock had a 'Buy-it-now' price of $627.77 (Plus $7.75 Shipping) but failed to attract any takers.

MINIATURE ONE CENT 1926 COIN TRICK PADLOCK

I am a real fan of coin padlock. This is not exactly a padlock as it does not require a key or combination, but it is styled as a padlock, and is an antique, so that is enough for me.

Lucky Penny Folk Art Trick Padlock

I think that coin padlocks are my favorite kind of miniature padlock.

Lucky Penny Folk Art Trick Padlock Copper Lock TINY Small Miniature Vintage. Here is a sweet mini folk art piece. It is not marked with a maker but I would guess it was made by some obscure craftsman long ago. It consists of two domed US Lincoln cents soldered together. The date on the Lincoln Wheat penny is 1937. The tiny lock opens by pushing the center button. Once pushed the shackle pops up and turns roughly 45 degrees. These rarely come up for sale, so try not to miss out. Size. This measures .967 inch tall, .741 inch across, and .361 inch thick not counting the button. Measured with a machinist dial caliper - eBay (23 May 2012)

GEORGE V Padlock Lock & WW1 Brass D Ring

I am a real fan of coin padlocks. This is a rarer version of the types of coin padlocks that I have run across.

This item is relisted on Ebay because of a new Ebay account holder had maliciously run the bid up and failed to pay. (Note: $315!)

Up for auction is rare George V coin padlock with working key and British Army kit Bag D-Clip. Both have been together from the WW1 era. The D-Clip was used for closing / locking the canvas kit-bag. They were used by the Army , Navy , and Air force.

The George V coin padlock is 1 3/16” wide and 1 7/8” high. This coin was struck between 1911 and 1928 and features the bigger portrait of George V while later coins struck between 1929 and 1932 had a smaller portrait. Unsurprisingly this has lead to the earlier coins to be referred to as the big heads and the later ones as the small heads.

There is a very small piece broken off on the edge of the back plate. This does not affect the function of the lock or degrade the presentation of the piece from the front side. Please review pictures and feel free to ask me any questions. - eBay (8 March 2012)

This padlock had a high bid of $97 (Plus $5.95 Shipping).

THREE PENCE PADLOCK

Here is another example of a coin padlock. The seller had been trying to sell this one for a while and finally found a buyer after lowering their price to $100.

Miniature Copper Penny Trick Padlock

I would not exactly classify this as a lock. It is nice though.

Here is a very hard to find antique miniature Copper Wheat penny trick padlock. Condition is excellent. It was made from two copper pennys, one is dated 1937. The entire lock measures only 1 inch long, 5/16 inch thick, and 3/4 inch across. Not much of a trick though still a very unusual padlock perfect for display. You push the spring loaded button and the shackle pops up and turns 45 degrees.

This is a very hard to find lock. - eBay (5 Sept 2010)

MINIATURE VICTORIAN SILVER COIN PADLOCK

I have two of these and was hoping to add this one as a third one to the collection. Unfortunately, the bidding went well beyond what I expected. This one sold for much more than the others I have seen. Not sure, why, unless it was made from a valuable coin.

This is for a fabulous little hand made Victorian sweetheart charm in the form of a miniature padlock complete with its ornate key. The padlock has been hand made from two Victorian 3d silver coins so it shows both sides of the coin, Queen Victoria's profile and the date 1870 on the other. They key is the tiniest key you are ever likely to see. It is in absolute excellent condition with no damage to it anywhere and the key works the lock. It measures a tiny 16mm in diameter by 5mm in depth. - eBay (13 June 2010)
