Large Complex Brass & Steel Changable Key

This was a key for a lock that could be re-keyed by changing the order of the parts inside the lock. I didn't think the key was that rare, but given the final price I guess I was wrong.

 
Curious old brass and steel key that can be reconfigured. The end unscrews and the fins can be interchanged. It measures 6 1/8 inches long. There is light wear and some tarnish. - eBay (15 Sept 2013)
This key had a high bid of $1,359.99 (Plus $3.62 Shipping).

Assa Abloy Clear Padlock

Now here is a real interesting padlock. I already feel that I lost out by not purchasing this one, but sometimes people need to make tough decisions when money is a limited resource.

 
 
This is a highly collectable rare padlock from Abloy. There are very few of these around. This padlock is from my private collection and is for the serious collector. The padlock comes complete with two keys. - eBay (20 Sept 2013)
This padlock had a high bid of $250 (Plus Free Shipping).

SOREL COMBINATION LOCK

I still do not have one of these. Not the prettiest of combination locks, but a nice one anyway. One reason that I think it is a little odd, is that it all appears to be self contained with the very understated dial.

 
 
 
OFFERED IS A BRASS COMBINATION LOCK THAT READS SOREL LOCK LIMITED SOREL CANADA PATENTED 1921 ON THE BOTTOM. THIS LOCK MEASURES ABOUT 3 1/4" TALL AND 1 1/2" IN DIAMETER. THIS IS A VERY HEAVY DUTY AND WELL BUILT LOCK THAT FUNCTIONS PERFECTLY WITH THE KNOWN CODE. THIS ONE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND HARDER TO FIND SO BID WITH CONFIDENCE. - eBay (2 June 2013)
This padlock had a high bid of $546 (Plus $7.25 Shipping).
