Miller (Champion) 6 Lever Pancake Padlock
Pictured below is an example of what is commonly called a "pancake padlock". Whilst the lock case says Millers, close examination of the key will also show the brand name Champion - I believe they made these locks under several names/case patterns.
Some pancake padlocks operate with a warded key, however this example uses levers as the name suggests, in this case six of them, and a push-key.
Once the correct key is pushed all the way into the keyway, the shackle springs open.
I am not certain, but I believe these were made over a considerable period of time. Would anybody be able to suggest an approximate age for this lock?

If you are still interested in having a key made for your Champion pancake lock;
I know a guy who can pick and decode it for a minimal fee.
