A Mystery Key
Terry Heilman of Stafford Virginia contacted me requesting some information about a railroad key he dug from a house site on November 13, 2005 east of Dumfries, VA. He sent me this picture of the key. Neither he nor I have been able to find out much about this key. If anyone knows more about this key or keys of this type, please post in the comments here, and or contact him directly at 703-441-1794. (He requested I list his telephone number). Thanks.

It looks like a typical pad lock key.
ReplyDeleteSwitch key?
ReplyDeleteI got that same key and the lock that goes with it. It is a U.S.M.R.Y. switch lock key. Nice find.

ReplyDeleteI dug a similar key here in The Plains. It’s a siding switch key from when the Union took over the railroads after the first battle of Manassas to keep the Confederacy from moving troops by rail again.
ReplyDeleteWow, Would love to see a photo of said key, there are very rare in the collecting field
