del0007 Brass fancy back lock which states S&M Mfg Co Phila on front and switch on back with fancy letters that look like P&R. Does anyone know anything about this lock?
oldbiscuit I wish I could help you but all I have in my books is the same as what you have that’s ingraved on your lock. I’m not really up on railroad locks, but if you wait a week or so I’m sure one of our other collectors will chime in🙁talk): Mark
Angusbuddy Philadelphia and Reading railroad I beleive. Value to a collector is about $350 although some RR collector might pay more for it with the key. 🙁happy):
oldbiscuit Who was S & M mfg in Phili ? I’ve seen reference to them,but I’ve never found anything on them (years in production and what the S & M are)🙁blush):
