    Default Old Combination Padlock

    Hi,

    Has anyone ever seen a combination lock like this? And, if so, can you give me some history on it?

    It has G & P on the bottom of it.

    And, the bonus is that I got the combination with it. I have never seen one like this and can't find anyone who has.

    Thanks for any info. I am putting up a couple pictures of it.

    Gene, I have a lock that is identical to this. I don't know much about the history of it, but I do know that it was made in Germany. My guess is, it was made pre-WWI. This is a very well made little lock and if your's came with the combination, you got lucky.....most do not. Mine had no working combo when it arrived but I cracked it in just a couple of minutes (it's not the highest security lock in the world).

    BTW, this lock is not terribly rare.....I have seen a lot of these at local antique shops and all over eBay. The ones at local antique shops are usually priced a little too high for my taste; I found mine on eBay for about $9.00.

    Congrats on your find!
