Hobbs & Co Makers London - Padlock

[Alex252]

Hi,
I have a 5" Hobbs & Co Padlock that I am looking to sell, it comes complete with key, I wondered if it would be of any interest to any of you collectors out there?
I have attached pictures below for you to see...
Any questions please ask
Regards Alex

Nice padlock. It would be in your interest to post some additional pictures of the edges and back of the lock, as the condition of the seams, and by inference whether or not the lock has been taken apart has a bearing on the value of it.

An indication of the price would also be useful.

I would be looking for £200 ono...

Here are the long awaited photos of the sides, back and front of the padlock I have
Let me know what you think!

Sorry, technical hitch!

The lock has been taken apart, as such it will have an effect on the value so you may have trouble getting the price you seek ..........

Hi Alex,
I'm a collector from the US, and I would expect to pay about 100 USD for a nice lock like that, it is notable that the key is numbered and matching, but as mentioned earlier, having been apart does bring the price down.
I don't know what you have into the lock, or if that price is too low for you, but if not, let me know.
thanks.
Jim.

As a fairly clean example (which has been taken apart) with an original / factory made key I would think a fair market price would be around the GBP100 mark.
