I bought a Pennsylvania Rail Road switch lock. It has a spring loaded bar that covers the keyhole when no key is in the lock. Most locks of this type I have seen are marked Slaymaker on this bar.
This lock is marked ES Hardware Co. INC Lancaster PA.
Can anyone help me with some information about this company? What era did they make locks in? Is there any relationship to Slaymaker also located in Lancaster/
Any information would be appreciated.
