Yale & Towne 1896 Lions Head Brass and Iron Lock Padlock

Here is a nice Lion's Head brass Yale padlock. Too bad it does not have a key to go with it. Still, it makes a nice paperweight.

You are viewing an antique Yale & Towne brass and iron lock in the shape of a lions head. The lock has a fine patina and is in very good original and as found condition. It is missing the key. The front of the brass shackle is stamped: " Yale & Towne Mfg. Co." and below that "Stamford Ct. U.S.A." and the number "36" near the bottom. The back is stamped: "Patented Feb. 18 1896".

The lock measures 3" long and 1 3/4" at its widest point. - eBay (23 October 2011)

This padlock had a high bid of $295.32 (Plus Shipping).

Lion's Head Padlock

Vintage "Lion's Head" Padlock (Without Key - Requires Repair)

Your bid is invited on this well-made brass padlock:

Description:
This padlock measures about 2 inches diameter and appears to be solid brass. The lion-head is outstanding. The hasp is open, and I don't have a key

There are no marks to indicate the maker or origin. The figures "1" and "C" appear stamped on the hasp.

Condition:
A knowledgeable collector pointed out this lock should click shut when the hasp is depressed. It does not. It will need internal repair and of course, a key. - eBay (28 Sept 2009)

Yale & Towne LION Faced Story Lock. Pat. Feb.11 1896

I am traveling so I am not able to check if this is a true story lock or not. Nonetheless, it is an interesting lock indeed.

Up for bid is a YALE Lion Face Lock. Patented February 18th 1896. The shackle is stamped with PAT. (Patent) Feb. 18 1896. Opp side marked Yale & Towne Mfg. Co. Stamford Conn. USA

Roaring Lion face on both sides. Shackle still retains some of the original gilt brass finish over brass. 90% of the original black paint still remains over the steel case. Excellent shape. Shackle has spring to it. No key.

It takes a #25 key. The pictures should tell the story. It would be hard to find one in better shape than this. Size is 3.0 tall x 1.75 wide x.80 thick (nose to nose).

Check out my other padlocks up for auction. Will be listing a few every week - eBay

This interesting padlock had an opening bid of $180 and a buy it now price of $250 (Plus Free Shipping) but failed to attract any bids.
