Vintage Collectibles:Railroadiana:Dining Car China:Pennsylvania
For your consideration is a group of THREE interesting china cups from the Pennsylvania Railroad. With narrow bottoms, gracefully curved sides and flared top edges, they would have been used for serving bouillon (clear soup) or custard/dessert. The base ware feels lighter than standard, heavy commercial restaurantware. Each cup is bottom stamped with the PRR keystone logo and "DESIGN PATENTED" PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD COMPANY . "Purple Laurel" was in use from the 1920s through the 1950s, and was ...

$385 USDLate 1800s Brass McAvity Railroad Steam Whistle
Vintage Collectibles:Railroadiana:Hardware:Whistles, Horns
Here is one terrific old solid brass steam whistle! It has a single chamber, and is approximately 18 inches tall with an attractive acorn type finial top. It has developed the most attractive rich, deep dark brown patina and makes a terrific display. We believe it dates to between 1873 and 1907 (see BACKGROUND) below. It is in WORKING CONDITION !

$35 USDInternational Silver Co. Railroad Silverplated Juice Glass Holder Insert
Vintage Collectibles:Railroadiana:Dining Car Silver
This three-armed cup was designed to hold a juice glass on ice, adding a luxury touch to a railway dining car passenger's meal. We found an identical example shown in the "Pullman" section of "Silver Banquet II" (Maffett) which is the "Bible" of railroad silver dining service pieces. Maffett's example shows the cup holder resting on the rim of a 6-3/8 inch, 22-ounce silver bowl. On the train, ice would have been placed into the bowl. The cup section would then be pushed down into the ice, so the ...
$260 USDMaine Central Railroad "Bangor" China Platter
Vintage Collectibles:Railroadiana:Dining Car China:Maine Central
This exceptional platter from the Maine Central Railroad is in extremely nice condition with almost no signs of use. Dating from the earliest 1900s, it is very attractive in the Bangor pattern incorporating a box logo with black and dark red pinstripes around the rim. Most Bangor platters are found in terribly worn condition with significant glaze loss and surface damage. This is not surprising because the railway ordered only two or three china patterns, using the individual pieces for many ...

Vintage Collectibles:Railroadiana:Dining Car China:New York, New Haven & Hartford
This very old New York New Haven & Hartford Railroad china butterpat is the Shoreline pattern, which is believed to be one of the earliest patterns used by the railroad for passenger dining car china. At approximately 100 years old, any Shoreline piece is very hard to find, in any condition. This miniature plate carries the pretty semi-script logo in dark blue and green surrounded by a single stripe. It is a tiny 3-1/4 inches across. "The Official Guide to Railroad Dining Car China" (McIntyre) ...

Vintage Collectibles:Railroadiana:Models, Toys:Marx
This adorable little HO model train red caboose # 556 is painted with a side logo for the New York Central Railroad Lines by Marx. It is all metal including the wheels. We believe it dates from the 1950s, possibly 1940s. Other than slight paint chipping and loss, it is in lovely condition with NO dents, splits, repairs or missing pieces. There is NO rust or metal corrosion, and the moveable parts work smoothly. The New York Central Railroad "Lines" name existed between 1898 (when the New York ...
$38 USDBaltimore & Ohio RR Old Brass Switch Key

$128 USDB&MRRR.NEB Hollow Barrel Railroad Switch Key
Vintage Collectibles:Railroadiana:Hardware:Locks,Keys
This key is from the Burlington & Missouri River Railroad, which was located in Nebraska. (It is not a Boston & Maine.) It is a terrific example of their hard to find steel switch key. On one side of the bow it is stamped B&MRRR.NEB and on the other G666 above the letter S. If you look beside the "G" you will see what at first glance looks to be a faded letter C, but is actually the Adams & Westlake Company's stamped 6-sided hallmark logo, which says A&W CO / CHICAGO . This key is in superb ...

$34 USDCRI&P "Rock Island Line" Railroad Hollow Barrel Brass Switch Key

This is a really nice example of a key from the famous Rock Island Line. It is stamped CRI&P on one side of the bow and 77749 on the other, along with its maker's name ADLAKE. The formal name of "The Rock," as it was known in its final years, is the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railroad, which formally began in 1866 and expanded to serve a dozen midwest states until it finally shut down in 1980. This great RR old line was made famous by singers Leadbelly and Johnny Cash. This key is in ...
$28 USDChicago & Western Indiana Railroad Hollow Barrel Brass Switch Key
Vintage Collectibles:Railroadiana:Hardware:Locks,Keys
Here is a great key from the midwest: it is stamped C&WI on one side of its bow and on the other is stamped 2944 along with ADLAKE, its maker. We found an identical key shown in "Guide to North American Railroad Keys" (Johnson) where it is identified as from the Chicago & Western Indiana Railroad. Condition is excellent with very light signs of use (if it was used at all). IMPORTANT: There is a tiny dent in the top of the barrel about midway down. This is a surface dent and is strictly cosmetic. ...
$95 USDEarly Southern Pacific Railroad Tapered Barrel Brass Switch Key
Vintage Collectibles:Railroadiana:Hardware:Locks,Keys
The patina on this wonderful old key is so dark that it looks nearly black, but tiny spots of golden brass are peeking through here and there. With its tapered barrel (but no incised rings) we are going to date it at around 1900 or possibly before. This key has a short appearance because of the narrow looking bow; its actual length is 1-15/16 inches. This key is stamped S P. (the period is square) on one side of the bow. There are no other markings. The lettering is quite small but is a serif ...

This key would have been made for the New York Central between 1935 and 1968, the period in which the railroad was running as the New York Central System.

$36 USDNew York Central Lines Railroad Hollow Barrel Brass Switch Key
Vintage Collectibles:Railroadiana:Locks, Keys
This old New York Central RR key dates to between 1914 (when the New York Central Lines emerged from a merger with the NY Central & Hudson River Railroad) and 1935 when it changed its name to New York Central Systems after restructuring. Strongly stamped NYCL on one side of its bow and ADLAKE on the other, this key is a beautiful display. It is a very attractive mellow golden in color. This is a fairly common cut for the New York Central, but "Lines" marked keys are difficult to find even in our ...

$26 USDPenn Central Railroad Hollow Barrel Brass Switch Key
Vintage Collectibles:Railroadiana:Hardware:Locks,Keys
This key was made between 1968 and 1976 for the "Pennsylvania & New York Central Transportation Company" also known as the Penn Central. This is one of the good, solid heavy ADLAKE keys, stamped PCRR on one side of the bow and ADLAKE on the opposite. It is in excellent condition showing little (if any?) use. This is a newer key, of course, but the Penn Central existed for only 8 short years and now is the time to get them while they are still fairly common. COLLECTOR NOTE: This is the preferred ...
$64 USDPANHANDLE Railroad Hollow Barrel Brass Switch Key
Vintage Collectibles:Railroadiana:Hardware:Locks,Keys
One would think this "Panhandle" key was from the Oklahoma/Texas region but we believe it is actually from the Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louis Railroad, which in its later days was referred to as the Panhandle. Keys from this line are not readily found. This key is stamped PANHANDLE all around one side of its bow in block letters. On the reverse side is stamped L0691 above a partly obliterated letter S. The "PANHANDLE" stamping is quite light with the center in particular worn from ...
$24 USDRACO Railroad Signal Screw Type Lock w/ "Key"
Vintage Collectibles:Railroadiana:Hardware:Locks,Keys
This is an exceptionally clean railway signal lock, strongly stamped RACO and in great working condition with a "Rube Goldberg" key. It is a gray color and at first glance appears to be steel, but a magnet WILL NOT stick. Looking very closely, it appears to be brass, with a tough but thin plating of some kind. This fooled me because the details on the lock are so crisp; usually plating smooths sharp edges. It may also be possible that this lock is an alloy (which would explain the "rust" color ...

Vintage Collectibles:Railroadiana:Hardware:Locks,Keys
This nice brass railroad switch key is from the Seaboard Air Line. It is stamped SAL on one side of its bow. On the other side it is stamped with a letter S.
