    "description": "The design of this padlock differs greatly from the designs of most continental European locks of the time. The severe lines and massive bulk communicate security.  The key has a cloverleaf bow and a ferrule (collar) of stacked squares set in a diamond pattern off center to the bow. Seven teeth on the bit.",
