Brass Clarke Combination Padlock

These are very cool padlocks. I have two Clarke combinaiton padlocks and they are near the top of my favorites.

The Clarke Combination Padlock manufactured in Baltimore, MD. Solid brass construction with patent dates of 1873 and re-issued 1876. The lock measures about 3 1/4" tall X 2 1/4" wide X 1 1/4" thick. There are 12 buttons marked A-I & L,O,U used to set the combination. It is marked on the back 1873 and 1876 patent dates. Do not have a combination. Very hard combination padlock to find. Guaranteed old. - eBay (15 Nov 2011)

This padlock had a high bid of $533 (Plus $5.20 Shipping).
