Adrian Weber Last year I was able to acquire a full box of AC20 50 Anniversary Steel Ball Padlocks from American Lock. There are 5 padlocks in the big box all with their small box, two keys and in a perfect condition. This box narrows down the time window in that this logo may has been used, I was not aware that they already used this logo in 1962! Therefore this box was very interesting from my point of view :o: Hope you enjoy, Adrian
oldbiscuit It’s to bad they didn’t mark the padlocks with the anniversary dates like the boxes. If it weren’t for that little anniversary logo in the one corner of the box, you would never know what you had

Adrian Weber Oldbiscuit is right though because this padlock is not stamped. Do have an idea when they actually started to stamp that number on the padlocks BBE?

There wasn’t any hstory for American when Master bought them. A wild guess would be the 1970’s but your guess is as good as mine. BBE. [unknown]
