Rare Seal Padlock

Here is a real interesting seal padlock. I am not sure the role of the lever. The lock front will only open when the shackle is open as you can see that on the top inside a part of the door locks with the shackle when it is closed.The dimples hold some piece of paper and there is a door to protect the paper seal. In all an interesting design.

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)

This padlock had an opening bid of $150 (Plus $7.70 Shipping) but had no bidders.
