This rare and vintage (1st Gen) 40mm Golden Mean padlock is a very awesome find!  The patent on this lock design was filed in 1978!  If this style looks familiar, it's because this Lock is the original design for the MAXIS lock! >This lock pre-dates the MAXIS company- and you can even see on the original keys that these are stamped "Golden Mean".  This particular padlock build represents the earliest and first design of the Golden Mean line of locks.  This lock uses the 1st generation key design: Note: the Keys are one solid piece and do not have a removable sleeve. Note: the biting is carved out of the center channel in the form of a trench and does not have distinct and clear "cuts".   VIDEO DEMO: >For more information about this lock style and the differences between generations, Please See My Video Demo On YOU-TUBE HERE:** http://youtu.be/tNOjObyIZlw FEATURES: This lock sports a super clever patented design!  >The key was made in a manner to help prevent anyone from photographing your key and then trying to make a counterfeit copy.           >> When viewing the key from any angle is extremely difficult (and at some angles, impossible) to accurately gauge the depth of the trench along the key!  >This design was also made to help guard against picking attacks. The circular keyway does not have any warding to allow tensioning the lock.  A great addition to any Rare Lock and Key collection! CONDITION: This Lock is around 25-30 years old but was never used. It has been sitting on the Locksmith shelf for a while where it picked up some superficial scrapes and scuffs. It also has some natural color changing of the brass due to age.  The Locking mechanism itself works Very Smoothly!  **Please take a close look at the Pictures, as they are of the exact Lock that is being sold** This auction is for the Lock and Keys only.  >The Lock's original box is not part of this auction.  SHIPPING: **PLEASE NOTE THIS LOCK SHIPS FROM TAIWAN** Worldwide shipping is available!  $4.99
