Now that one has the shape of the ones we dig in mid 1800's sites,but it strikes me as a little later,late 1800's? :dontknow:

Try looking up William Wilcox & Company or William Wilcoxmanufacturing Company. If you don't find it PM me & I'll dig out my old files & books.

I have found a couple of RR switch locks and my wife worked at a RR for several years and most if not all the switch locks had the name of the RR on them. Monty
