In 1880 this padlock patent 228619 was issued

121 years later June 23, 2009 lock patent D594731 issued to Master Lock referencing above padlock

Someone needs to tell Norman Wesley our shareholder dollars are being wasted by Master Lock copying locks from 1880.

No one is waiting in line at Home Depot to buy D594731.
