Gimmicked Trunk Hasp. Circa 1960s (?). Nickel plated steel hinge hasp and staple cleverly gimmicked for easy removal of padlock. Could be used for sub-trunk, pillory or chest in which the performer needs to quickly and discreetly open a locked hasp. Hinge 5 x 1 ?? when flat. Includes screws. Minor rust and pitting, very good.
