French Combination Key Padlock

Here is an interesting French Combination Key Padlock. I have not seen one like it before, which appears to require not only the correct key, but also the correct combination. A nice design.




OFFERED IS A BRASS AND IRON LOCK MARKED BREVETE S.G.D.G. IT MEASURES ABOUT 3" TALL AND IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THIS LOCK COMES WITH WHAT I THINK IS IT'S ORIGINAL KEY . THERE ARE THREE DIALS NUMBERED 0-9 THAT MUST BE SET CORRECTLY THEN THE LOCK WILL OPEN WITH THE KEY. I DO NOT KNOW THE COMBINATION BUT I AM SURE THE LOCK WILL WORK IF YOU HAVE THE PATIENCE TO FIGURE OUT THE COMBO. - eBay (11 Feb 2013)

This padlock had a high bid of $370 (Plus $6 Shipping).

Steel Brass Unmarked Lock Padlock Corbin Cylinder

I was very intrigued when I saw this padlock. Looking at the selling prices, clearly I was not the only one.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Vintage Padlock approximately 2 1/4" x 3 1/4" x 1" For your consideration is an antique padlock made of brass and iron or steel. The shackle at the top is fixed, or stuck, and when the key is turned, the interior parts slide down below the brass case. There is another flat piece which moves up and down. I have never seen a padlock like this one, and I am uncertain of its application or how it is meant to work. There are two lines on the reverse which are the result of a sticker have been placed there. - eBay (13 Jan 2013)
This padlock had a high bid of $127.50 (Plus $5.15 Shipping).

Still a very nice lock for the collector just in time for Christmas. High bidder to pay $8.00 for domestic UPS/USPS shipping. Insurance included. International, Hawaii, and Alaska pay actual UPS or USPS rate. - eBay (15 Dec 2012)
