Hi oldlock, in the seller's first sentence he states: "very rare vintage"
States the key is not original "but it’s extremely rare to find this style of padlock with it’s original key"
But covers all bases with: "It could possibly be antique, I would assume it is but I’m not 100% sure."
To me this seller's description would be very tempting to a novice collector & the seller has misrepresented the item. But that is my opinion......momma
