That looks like a " reset switch" for a slot machine.. very common in Las Vegas and other places that have slot machines ...not particularly collectable.

Good luck with your e-bay sales.

maybe back in 1975... I assure you that lock doesn't operate any DoD gates these days..

Some folks on ebay like to use the words RARE! in their titles, if you think these things are truly worth something, put them up put a nice story behind them and hope to make some money. I know you were probably hoping these 48 locks would bring you lots of money, but it doesn't always work out that way. I suddenly feel like Rick from that Pawn Stars show.. people bring something in and it turns out its worth $20 bucks, not $2000.

Sorry bud,
