Description

I've had this padlock since I was in high school touring China in the early 90's. It was a tumultuous time right after Tiananmen '89 and the authorities made it mandatory to lock all travel bags before checking into the airport (it may still be the case, I dunno). So, I ended up buying a cute little lock in Shanghai that used a mini-key.

I've since lost the key and have been experimenting with printing a replacement based on other keys by the same manufacturer (Yong-Gu). Some day, I'll find the right one. In the meantime, at least we have a replacement to a key labeled "S" (between the Chinese characters "Shang" and "Hai")that fits in the red-ish lock in the video that I've posted here:

There's also a 'blank' key that you can use to make a copy of your existing key. The dimensions of which I'd love to have so I can attempt to replicate it here and bring use to my childhood treasure once again - so please post a pic or measurement if you happen to have one. (Thanks in advance!)

If you found this useful, it would bring me great joy to see your work - so be sure to share. :)

Or, better yet, please feel free to dump a bitcoin or two here (I'm trying to collect as many as I can before the apocalypse):

... include a note to the effect of "Hi 3E8, thanks for the padlock key thing... my life is infinitely better on account of it and please accept this small handful of bitcoins in gratitude".

You're welcome! (in advance) :D

Also, feel free to peruse my other submissions which are almost as varied as they are many:

Enjoy!
