I've had this in my collection for a long time
I found it in the basement at my grandmothers house...she got it from her father.
I could be as old as ww2 but i dunno.
I dont think this is a rare lock, as i have seen several yale padlocks that's similar to this
One of my freinds says it's multi shear lock. could he be correct?
I haven't had any luck picking it yet...
This is a Yale 800 series padlock. I picked mine open the other day but it was a tricky bugger, had to SPP it and I'm sure there are at least 2 decent security pins in there. It wouldn't play at all until I sprayed a load of WD40 in there then after that it got easier.
The one you have there looks quite old from the way the Yale logo is stretched around the lock, the newer ones just have 'YALE' without the stretching. Decent padlocks though...
