Padlock - Antique, 27.3 cm in size.

Large 27.3 cm antique Dutch 17th/18th century hand-forged iron 'gate lock' padlock with key.

It was dismantled in the second half of the 19th century during the construction of the canal through Walcheren. Dimensions: Lock; 27.3 cm high - 17 cm wide - 4.5 cm thick. Key; 14.3 cm long. Weight: 4270 grams. Condition: In good, used condition; there is an old repair on the corner, see the last photo. See photos for the overall condition.
