SEATTLE LAKE SHORE & EASTERN RAILROAD

Item # 13133

Wonderful early key with beautiful serif lettering. This road lasted for nearly 20 years from the 1880's to almost the turn of the century with a unique construction pattern that saw track laid around the University of Washington campus out to North Bend, WA and an eastern section started near Reardon, WA. The two never met and the road dissolved into the Seattle & International and was then purchased by the Northern Pacific. Hardware from this line is nearly unheard of with only a few keys and baggage tags, and a pair of locomotive builders plates from a locomotive that ended its days on the Seattle waterfront known to exist.
