Tyack Bicycle combination lock

[holly58]

Found this small combination lock in the box with instruction sheet. It is a 1 dial Tyack Bicycle Lock made by the C. H. STOELTING MFG. CO. Chicago Pat. Dec.31.85.(stamped on the back)The numbers on the front dial go from 0 - 19 and in the center the numbers 753 are on the small center dial. The combination on the paper works. The same lock shown at this URL
Combination Padlocks - 1 Dial - G thru Z - Antique Padlocks but no value is given there. It measures: 2 5/8" high x 1" diameter.
All brass. Nickel plate finish. Looking for the value. Any help is appreciated.

I would think around $25 maybe more.

Would love more info than that, if available. Can find nothing on Tyack Lock Co.,in Milwaukee, WI or C.H. Stoelting Mfg. Co. in Chicago. Did find and print a copy of the patent, but other than that can find nothing. Have an offer to purchase for $150, so somewhat curious about the discrepency.

Actual value is really hard to pinpoint on any lock. That lock, being of a rather simple combination and design would sell normaly $25 -$35.But to a padlock collector who is into combo locks,and dosn't have that particuler lock it might be worth more. As with any collectable the price is what ever a person can get for it or what another person is willing to give for it. If your trying to sell it,you might try listing it on Ebay with a reserve.You might be surprised at what someone is willing to spend. As for trying to get more background info, Try Googling. Good luck, Mark
