I have a brass combination lock that has been in the family since I was a kid. I am now 50 years old. It has three cylinders numbered 0 to 13. It also has a small thick hasp to lock to, it must be a special use, as you can adjust the cylinders to any combination. My question is where can I find out its use and its value? I am just curious and do not plan on selling it, just want to know more of the story on it. I do have a photo of it. Thanks
Email me a picture and I'll post it on Clearstar for you. (It needs to be under 100 meg)

Bob DeWeese, CML probably meant 100 kb... ?
I'd be interested to see it, but I'm not a member of Clearstar. Can you put it up on the internet and provide a link? If it is a padlock, I have info on padlock experts if you don't a response on Clearstar.

Got it. Thanks. I think I've seen one somewhere before. I bet BBE would know something about it or have one on his First Internet Lock Museum site.
Apparently there isn't much known about this lock. I posted it and your questions on Clearstar General Forum (cream of the crop when it comes to locksmiths) and there was only one response...
"Nice lock - I would want it! All I can tell you is very collectable."
I've got another place to try. I'll get back to you.

Try this...
Let us know what you find out.

I am not pulling anyone's leg. I do have that same lock, I did get the photo off the site about a year ago. I must admit I was surprised when I saw it. It doesn't give any information about it, just that it sold for $455 back in
1999 on Ebay. I went to Ebay hoping to find the whole ad in the completed sale group, but I guess they don't go back that far. I could send you a photo of me holding the lock, even opened if that would convince you. I have read the post here for at least two weeks and would never try to fool this group, I know you all are too knowledgeable and far too busy for me to waste your time, if I did not have one exactly like it. Again I just want to know the origin, intended use and current value. I could send you a photo of me holding the lock, even opened and set to any combination you may request, if that would convince you.
