A padlock such as this is nothing special. In heaven (or hell?), Sid is probably chuckling to himself with amazement.

The Rabbit’s foot padlock is probably the most important item in Punk. A shop called ‘Black’ in Harajuku is where I bought it initially. I think I bought a few here. Even in a London hardware shop it could be bought as a souvenir at that time. It’s a story from the early ‘80s.

Not quite original since it was 35 years ago and now occasionally traded on ebay for lots of money. I think there are quite in Japan so think it may be worth checking out Yahoo auction, perhaps …

A long time ago Sid’s own rabbit’s foot went to auction.
