lol .. no doubt!
It is 3.5 inches in diameter. I haven't found a match for Pontiac or Indian motorcycles.[ATTACH]
The back has rusted away and it is 23mm in diameter. [ATTACH]
It has a crossed sledge hammer and shovel with the letters CBC on it. Can anybody tell me what lock it came from?[ATTACH]

It's a stumper!
Do you recognize the pattern?[ATTACH]
