Antique Metal Padlock with Child and Dove Design

Apparently old and Rare. Nice too!







Antique Metal Padlock
- with Child and Dove Design -

What a unique and rare find for collectors and decorators!

This antique padlock features a design on both sides. We believe this is made of either iron or cast iron. On one side is a child sitting in a tree or some kind of limb or stalk with a dove. The other side continues the theme with the same plant and dove. The only inscription on the lock is "U S A".

It looks like the other side contains some initial or logo, but we can't make it out.

There are no keys with this lock. This lock measures approximately 2 3/4 inches from the bottom to the top of the loop, the base is a circle approximately a 2 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick. - eBay (22 Feb 09)

This padlock sold for $878 (Plus $4.95 Shipping).
