Old interesting miniature Snake padlock

kirky

I got this padlock from a lot of 7 padlocks that purchased off ebay for about $7. I’ve never seen any other padlock like it with its red square body, and its skeleton keyed mechanism. I was wondering if anyone could tell me the manufacturing year of it or the value of it? If so please do tell!

Thanks!

This is a neat little lock that was made in Japan. I have a few of them and I suspect that they were made in the 1970’s. As to value, about $5.00.
