Odd unmarked BEST padlock.

I've had this one several years and always thought it was odd since it has no markings on the lock. Just the core and keys. Any thoughts one why? ImageImage
macgng; it's completely unnecessary to have ~15$ in keys for a 50¢ lock ... but we all do it anyway :P

If so they did it on a milling machine and buffed it with 40,000 grit sand paper. I see no signs of grinding at all.

I figure the factory made all of them like that, then stamped the name desired on them. That one just ran off the reservation before getting branded.

That they do. If one somehow managed to get out without a stamp on it I would be amazingly surprised. The only ones they made without stamps as far as I am aware were the zinc/aluminum alloy ones in WW2.
