    Doubled, Nice lock. I do see some damage though in the hinge pin which will reduce its value somewhat. Is the keyhole cover still on the lock? and if so is the spring still good in it? Does the lock have the origional marked key with it? In really good shape (undamaged) that lock should be worth in the area of $350 - $400. The more damage the less the value. Mark

    Ed, are you aware of the other style of keyed/keyless Gougler padlock? These use a somewhat flat key via a slot at the base of the case which eliminates the huge bulge of the style you have. There was a discussion under the thread "Gougler Padlock Combination" with some pictures. The locks are not too rare on eBay but the keys are very hard to find.

    Hi Ed,

    In my limited experience, these key-bypass locks were sold in large block orders to schools, factories, and such. The lock factory would not stamp them with the usual code numbers. Instead, the locks would be stamped with purchaser-specific code numbers and a code book would be provided to the customer. As a result the usual codes are not useful here. One source suggests two-digit codes were never used! The Reed code book does not list a combo for 088.

    Other folks might have better information than I do.

    Thanks for the reply wylk!

    I'll keep an eye out, but don't see too many with a keyway, so at least that is a plus. :-)

    Cheers!
    Ed
