"8 Wheels".
2 3/4" high x 3 3/8" wide. Steel case. Brass wheels. I found this
padlock in an antique shop in Hamburg Germany some time in the 1990's. The
shop owner said that it was made by a bored machinist on a cargo boat. It is
apparent that the machinist did not have letter/number stamps. Whether this
story is true or not this padlock is clearly one-of-a-kind. "The Philippe Burguet Collection" |
