1873 - 1876 PATENT CLARKE COMBINATION LOCK BALTIMORE MD.

Here is a neat example of a Clarke combination padlock. It is interesting to see that the lock has been used so much that you can see wear around the correct buttons to press. No matter, the new owner can always change the combination by opening the back and moving the pins around.
