Was that the one on craigslist, Lansing a while back?
svnt442 opinion that the price is stout.

If I can get one of my co-workers dad to bring the one he has, I will get a it for nominal price or free.

The locks would have been used for locking interior cribs to outdoor gates at the factory, I love anything that says Olds Motor Works on it ( that is if it's the real thing ). One of the nicest things I just missed out on buying was a Olds Motor Works employee badge, it was in the shape of a radiator......if only these old things could only talk.

Can you post a picture of the badge? I'm curious what it looks like.

DSC_0025.JPGWay to go! I hope you got somewhere around what you were asking for it.

Some one wanted to see an oldsmobile badge. Here you go.

Just think how much stuff was lost forever when they tore down the plant. I got some video of that ceremony. Stopped at the bridge over the site and watched a while.

That's an octagon shaped badge, the Olds Motor Works employee badge I was talking about has the shape of a radiator in it.

Sold the lock for the asking price, post a pic of yours.

I had no idea something like that lock would be worth so much. Very nice on getting your asking price.

With the correct key $125 is a good price, it isn't like there's a lot of them out there. I have one other with no key that I'll sell for $80 shipped in the lower 48 states, I'll post a pic if anyone is interested.

The Olds Motor Works badge I have picture sold for $110, I was late on the bidding so lost out......I would have done $120 if had the chance.
