UNION
PACIFIC RAILROAD
Item
# 12844
Prior
to the 1900's most all keys came with fancier details,
like machined barrels with tapers and grooves. This
key from the 1880's era is no exception. A return
to that pride of craftsmanship era awaits the owner
of this superb example. Union Brass of Chicago manufactured
this key and marked it U P R R on the front along
with the S for Switch at the 6 o'clock position.
The key shows mild wear and has a great patina.
One tiny barrel end crack is noted for accuracy
but can barely be seen or felt. Such a great early
key and in way better than average condition. Don't
miss this opportunity.

This nicely marked Canadian National key is in beautiful

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.
