McCLOUD
RIVER RAILROAD
Item
# 12698
One
of those odd unexplainable markings on a key. MCCRR
marked on the front with Slaymaker marked on the reverse.
First C and first R, lightly struck for some reason
but very evident and visible. We can only guess at
the level of boredom that must have overtaken the
workmen making switch keys by the thousands, and perhaps
given the opportunity to hand stamp a few of the smaller
runs for roads such as this northern California log
hauler.

CANADIAN
NATIONAL RAILWAY
Item
# 12690
Haven't
had opportunity since the pandemic outbreak to make
fun of the Canadians but we'll go easy on ya today eh...
This nicely marked Canadian National key is in beautiful
condition with the earlier stamped Mitchell hallmark
on the reverse. Nice pocket wear and patina on this
great example.
I
once heard that the keying design was influenced with
input from the Canadian railroad workers so that they
would have not only a switch key in their pocket but
also a handy bottle opener on the job as well, eh. I
believe that to be at least 94% true.
