WB Old Heavy Brass Padlock on Chain, with Key mid-century canisters many of these date fromHow silly I feel to have formerly bought boring new padlocks when there are such great old ones around! This heavy brass one was made by The Wilson Bohannan Company in Marion Ohio, and still looks and works great, with its original chain attached to boot. As they say, they don't make them like they used to! 2 7 8" t x 1 3 4" w x 7 8" d; chain is 8 1 2" long, with a nice patina to the brass and a minor rusting to the chain.
