Any thoughts on this Little Giant Padlock from Master?

Hello. I can’t seem to find out any info on this Little Giant Padlock from Master. This is a #3. The box measures 2 ¼ × 1 ¾ inches. Curious if anyone has come across these before and also an idea of age and value.

Thanks very much.

Sorry, in case I wasn’t clear,…my questions refer to the box, since I haven’t seen that packaging before. The lock itself looks pretty standard issue.

Thanks.

Very nice piece! I do not have this particular one yet but I bet Zachary has. He is the Masterlock specialist. I would say between 30s and 50s but I am sure he can narrow it down 🙁happy):

If you are looking to sell or trade it let me know!

I have a distributor catalog c.1956 that shows Master Lock “Little Giant” padlocks as their nos. 44, 55, 66 and 77. The no. 3, as well as nos. 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7 & 8 were called “Secret Service” at that time. No. 22 was “Strong Boy” and no. 1500 was “Champ”. By 1965 the nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 & 8 were still designated “Secret Service” while nos. 44, 55, 66 & 77 were then named “Wrought Steel”.
