WB Lock from the B+M RR

[xlt nh]

Found this beauty the other day...my first Rail Road lock!! The Boston+Maine RR went through my town many years ago..always hoped to find one of these....

Still has the chain attached and the hasp still functions...even the keyhole plate slides!! She's a beauty...a Relic I'm very proud of!
Yellow paper has a copy of what is written on the hasp...

Wonderful find,excellent condition as well. Generally any old railroad memorabillia is worth some $, the locks are no exception. I dug an old railroad key that Buckelboy ID'd for me earlier this year I found similar ones on Ebay going for 30-40$,I would think the locks would run similar maybe quite a bit more depending upon the popularity of the line. Keep swinging that 'scanner thing' winter isnt here yet...Shoot

Great find----Those old locks are way cool

You FOUND that?? Lucky stiff... My boyfriend has a collection of B&M and NH locks/keys. In case you didn't know, the "W" is for "Wilson". You are lucky in that the lock is open. Most RR locks I see without keys were closed years ago.
