    Default Chubb Padlock Value?

    Hi all
    Found this old padlock in a junk shop. Any idea of its value/age? It has 1942 stamped on the hasp but I'm not sure if that is a year or a model...

    That is a railway switch lock. Most commonly used by South African Railways. I doubt 1942 is the year as lock manufacturers were all involved in munitions manufacture during the wars, more likely to be a lock identification number. As to value I bought and sold one a few years back, I think I sold it for US$40 or thereabouts.

    Default Chubb padlock

    This type of padlock is still in use by the South African Railways (now called Spoornet)
    I have a padlock with 1963 stamped on the shackle so i would suggest that the numerals stamped on the padlock in question i.e. 1942, is the date of manufacture?
