This might be a size record for a vintage padlock

[Hook]

This has gotta be the smallest vintage padlock i've ever seen. Its barely bigger than a nickel. it rang up zinc penny at 5 inches. i was betting IH...i woulda lost my bet !

pretty cool find Hook and tiny too. :thumbsup02:

[Cheap Thrills]

That is cool ! Possibly to a jewelry box or used as a charm .Another bit of proof that those zinc signals can sometimes be worth digging .

How old do you think it is Hook, 1880's 1890's? A great little lock. Any writing on it anywhere?

When we were kids, we all had pirate's chest banks like this one with locks just like that.

I love to find old locks and yours looks great. :congrats: on your find. Sometimes those zincoln signals pay off.

Wow yours is in great shape. I found one identical at an old tavern site but it was toasted.

Neat find for sure, I dug a very similar lock some years back.
