Sorry, John, but your padlock is a fake and not even a good one. It wasn’t made for Wells Fargo. It was probably made in India within the last 10 years. It’s worth around $15-25 dollars. Here’s bunch of examples:

Fake wells fargo padlock

Fake Wells Farog padlock with key

Replica Wells Fargo Padlock

I hope you didn’t pay too much for it. There are some unscrupulous antique dealers who try to pass off reproductions as the real deal.
