& MAINE RAILROAD
Item
# 12035
B&MRR
over S on the back of this brass heart shape switch
lock manufactured by Williams Page & Co. of Boston.
Simply a beautiful example complete and original with
blind rivets which probably dates this lock to the 1870's
at the latest. Strong spring in the dust cover, spring
back in the shackle. No key for this lock but guaranteed
to function or buyer may return it for full refund.
A very nice example from this early maker.

OREGON
RAILWAY & NAVIGATION
Item
# 12027
As
part of the Union Pacific System the Oregon Railway
& Navigation Company was for some reason supplied
with locks which were cast Union Pacific on the back,
but keyed for the original OR&N and stamped OR&N
on the shackles. Go figure. Maybe one of Herriman's
early attempts at standardization. None the less, this
seldom seen version has all the characteristics of a
typical OR&N lock, except it is cast Union Pacific
on the back. Another peculiarity is the marking "OR&N
RR" on the front, probably to designate RR from
the Navigation portion of the business or simply marked
as RR by someone who didn't know any better. The lock
is also stamped SWITCH on the back of the shackle. Just
a beautiful rich dark brown patina overall. Wonderful
condition and perfect operation. Very hard to find version.

CHICAGO
MILWAUKEE St. PAUL & PACIFIC RAILROAD
Item
# 12023
This
brass bodied signal lock is a really tough one to find
and is the only cast letter lock for the Milwaukee road
made after the &P was added in 1927. This particular
lock is in excellent condition and still wears some
of its signal case's silver paint. The keys are as tough
as this lock is to find so don't miss out on this half
of the set.

Early
1880's vintage Oregon Railway & Navigation lock.

early keying which is not the later 80's and 90's regular
switch cut. The lock appears to have been repaired and
has excellent spring tension in the shackle and dust
cover. Original clevis and chain finish of this early
and awesome example of early Pacific Northwest rail
and steam navigation on the Columbia River.

VIRGINIA
& TRUCKEE RAILROAD
Item
# 11972
Union
Brass made this nice 1880's vintage brass switch lock
for the Virginia & Truckee Railroad. Nicely hallmarked
on the dust cover and deeply stamped on the shackle
V&TRR. This lock body has never been opened and
repaired like many found today. The mechanicals in the
lock are excellent. The shackle however can use some
help. It functions although has a couple of cracks from
some seriously rough treatment in service. When it succumbed
to the punishment and opened, the end of the shackle
broke off and has been not so neatly repaired. The lock
functions and the repair cannot be seen in the display
condition however if someone were to do this lock the
justice it deserves, it should be re-repaired correctly
and would then fully realize its potential. Even so,
this historic western artifact is from one of the most
sought after roads in the western US and will still
be one of the centers of attention in any western display.

SAN
PEDRO LOS ANGELES & SALT LAKE RAILROAD
Item
# 11956
Interesting
and rare example of a complete lock and key set from
the SPLA&SL. The lock is shackle stamped SPLA&SLRR
in the factory Fraim stamping. On the reverse WS for
Water Service is stamped, but also in the panel ghost
lettering from the same mold used to cast regular
switch locks for the Terre Haute & Indianapolis
Railroad! The lock was not repurposed but rather shared
an identical body casting pattern with the TH&I
lock so the factory reused the mold and temporarily
altered the pattern to fill the lettering. An interesting
piece. The key is a beautiful and seldom offered key
that matches the lock and operates it well. Very difficult
set to find with not many of either half left in existence.

$600.00

NORTHERN

Item
# 11897
Northern
Pacific cast early version stair step heart shape brass
switch lock. This is the way we like to find them! Rich
dark brown patina covers this lock and before you start
thinking the paint is a eyesore, that paint is original
NP! It is the lighter brown shade found on the upper
portions of wayside buildings and depots. The lock comes
with strong mechanical springs, clevis, chain and S
hook. What a beautiful survivor with some added historical
color!

This
small tumbler style multi-purpose lock is all brass
and in excellent condition with spring in the hasp and
only missing the swing out dust cover from the bottom
of the lock. Most railroaders knocked them off the first
chance they got because they'd tend to freeze in place
in the wintertime. Nice lock from the higher numbered
CS series range.

is as deep and bold as they come.

in block letters on the back panel is C&WMRY and stamped
C for Car on the shackle. This lock has rich beautiful
dark brown patina and is hallmarked A&W in the hex

what looks like a .22 bullet dent in the dust cover. Does
not affect the operation of the lock. All springs strong
and perfect working order. Comes with a later SOO LINE
marked Keline switch key that operates the lock. A hard
cast car lock to find these days.

LOUISVILLE
& INTERURBAN RAILROAD
Item
# 10470
L&IRR
brass locks show up from time to time, but this is the
first cast raised letter L&IRRCo lock we've seen.
This lock is very much the same design as the L&NRR
cast locks however, it has a square shackle! All springs
are strong and the hasp has good tension in it. We don't
have a key to operate but will stand behind it with 100%
money back guarantee if it does not work. This is certainly
one of the nicest locks from this road that exists and
is ready to display.
