[@two_tier_gary_rumain]

Are you sure it's bronze? Doesn't look dark brownish enough to be bronze.

[@LockNoob]

Gary, you may well be right! :-)

[@AThreeDogNight]

[@macnutz4206]

That is a lovely lock. I like the colour of the bronze.

[@adamwest8711]

Macnutz420 - reminiscent of the golden sheen on the generous curves of Ursula Andress as she emerged from the sea. And from the same era!

[@LockNoob]

Me too :-)

[@LockNoob]

[@adamwest8711]

Not the first blinged pick I’ve seen but it is the first time I’ve seen someone colour-coordinate their pick and lock! 😄

[@LockNoob]

Lol, it’s all about the style ;-)

[@bird718]

thats the best old school yale i ever seen.... EVER! i bet it was immaculate before it got picked today and now it has those scratches from the pick, tension tool and that industrial grade iron vice thats rated at 2 metric tons.

[@LockNoob]

Wellllll I see it as having fulfilled its destiny :-)

[@iowapanner2223]

Thank you :-)

[@DarkArtsLockPicking]

What a beautiful lock. Nicely done mate 👍🤘🖖🍻

[@LockNoob]

Thanks friend:-)

[@coyotedomino]

That’s quite the lock. I could totally be wrong, but it looked like the core wasn’t warded?

[@LockNoob]

It’s got standard Yale warding :-)

[@JimBailey]

Thank you Lock Noob

[@LockNoob]

Thanks Jim :-)

[@zenoist2399]

I have a Yale padlock like this but in a sort of pinkish metal. The shackle is pinkish too.

[@LockNoob]

It could be slightly tarnished brass :-)

[@zenoist2399]

@@LockNoob Could be > I magnet fished it out of a canal and it cleaned up beautifully. It's non magnetic but had a short piece of chain the magnet stuck to. The lock works as I picked it open. Thank you for the reply.

[@Kraken1000]

They don't make locks that well these days. Shame. It's beautiful.

[@LockNoob]

Actually, Yale still do, but they are expensive :-)

[@Petertronic]

Nice lock! I was wondering how you store your locks? I have a growing collection too - do you keep them in drawers, or boxes, or hanging on bars? Do you keep keys in the locks or separately? 😉 👍

[@LockNoob]

Yes

[@LockNoob]

...but the more full answer would be still yes to everything - I have so many, they get put everywhere and anywhere in all sorts of configurations. I try to keep as many as I can with the key on the shackle on a key ring in flight cases :-)

[@LockpickingsGal]

What an amazing vintage Yale padlock!! Did he purchase it like that or restored it? Happy pickings!!

[@LockNoob]

I think he must have bought it like that. Very lucky! :-)

[@brianriley5448]

Shiny and new...like my third wife.

[@LockNoob]

Lol :-)

[@markjohnson6394]

That's a beautiful lock, but a very bland key. Hardly anything cut into it! Another great video, thanks again.

[@LockNoob]

Thank you :-)
