    Master pin tumbler laminated padlocks had a pattern for the first 8 model numbers. Numbers 1, 3, 5, 7 were laminated steel. numbers 2, 4, 6, 8 were laminated brass for marine applications. The pattern was not folowed after that.

    Thanks BBE for the 1 3 5 7 & 2 4 6 8 information..
    Were there only 4 brass size's made?
    I never liked Master Lock's, but having a few, I guess I should try to learn how they are sized........is 1 the smallest in the pin tumbler & 19 the largest? I have a 15, is there a 16 & 17 & 18?.......are they numbered according to size? The only one that I ever searched for was the 19 as I wanted the largest....the rest just came with lots that I bought to get something else that I wanted.........Donnie

    Hey Donnie,

    I love the vintage Master Locks, no idea why but they seem to be of better quality than the newer ones. Also more attention to detail on the padlock and the package. I love attention to detail.

    Here is the probably smalles one the No.7, it is 30mm wide and 30mm high, 49mm with the shackle, the shackle diameter is 5mm:

    That #7 is the smallest pin tumbler laminated lock, however, there are warded laminated locks that are smaller, look at #9 and #10.
