Gun Collectors Dream Auction 65
Lot 1325:
Embark on a journey through time with this vintage trio of padlocks, each showcasing its own unique characteristics. The first, a 1930s heavy-duty cast iron body and shackle, bears the YALE #225 marking at the back. With a key included, it proudly displays "Yale & Towne MFG Co. Stamford Conn. U.S.A" on the front. Measuring at 2"x3", this Yale padlock is a testament to the durability of the era. The second padlock is a Master 66, featuring an electro-galvanized body and shackle. Although lacking a key, it proudly exhibits "Master Lock CO. Milwaukee, Wi Made in U.S.A" on the front. This compact padlock measures 1.75×2.5" and represents the quality synonymous with Master Lock. Completing the trio is a heavy-duty unmarked vintage lock with steel plates on the front and back, and brass on the sides. The only marking, the number 8 on the shackle, adds an air of mystery. This lock, intriguingly, comes with a key. As you hold these vintage padlocks, feel the weight of their history and envision the security they once provided. Whether displayed as collector’s items or integrated into a vintage-inspired setting, each padlock carries with it the craftsmanship and character of a bygone era. Unlock the stories embedded in these artifacts and let them serve as a tangible connection to the past.
