WASHINGTON - VIRGINIA RAILWAY CO.

Item # 13370

Rarely does a quality fancy back surface for sale. This Washington - Virginia Railway fancy back lock is as hard to come by as you can get with only a handful known in collections today. W-V RYCo in fancy letters on the back of this Adams & Westlake product out of their Philadelphia plant although not hallmarked as such. Predecessor Washington Alexandria & Mt. Vernon locks of the same variety have the 5-line logo stamped on the-shackle. This lock is in beautiful working order with a great patina and comes with working unmarked key. But we can't rate this a 10 because at some point in its history, the lock was opened and repaired. New springs were probably needed. The repair was ok, but not great as the would-be restorationist left the rivets with visible indents. The repair is certainly obvious to the advanced collector. This deficiency is something very correctable about this example, however the price reflects the condition while respecting the ultimate rarity and beauty of this historic gem.
