Interesting old Yale padlock
My grandpa gave me this old yale padlock, and I have no clue of the year or value of it so if anyone has any information on it please do tell.
Its seems to have 3 rivets on the front, 5 rivets on the back, a big yale sign on the front in the center, and the yale & towne MFG company words plus Stamford Conn on the shackle.

Re: Interesting old Yale padlock
Don't know when it was patented or how long it was manufactured, but I have a Yale poster from 1925 that shows one that looks just like it. Model no. 9425B (Cast Bronze Case and Shackle). 3" tall closed; body is 2" wide? Sold for $1.35 in 1925.
Very nice keepsake from your grandpa.

Another point Gary is that although the key is marked 'patent' nothing has been found in the British patent abridgements, so maybe its one that was 'applied for' but not granted... The mystery...
