Crooked Brains blog has a very spiffy collection of antique and unusual padlocks, from back in the days where any household item was an opportunity for showing off craftmanship.

    I switched the original link to Crooked Brains because it was posted three days earlier, and has source links.

    See, now if the American auto makers would put these locks on their cars, I think sales would soar and we could get out of this nasty economic slump.

    I want a tiger on mine.

    As Ajan said, when I have traveled in India, they sell old locks on the street that make this look like a plain old locksmith lock...
