SALE PENDING Rare Central Vermont RR switch lock with brass key

Collectibles : Railroadiana : Hardware : Brass : Lock : Key : Switch

 

Here is a very hard to find railroad lock set from the Central Vermont Railway. Both the steel switchlock and the brass key are railroad marked and very clean.

The lock, which comes with several links of original chain, works freely. The dustcover, marked ADLAKE in raised letters, snaps closed with a good strong inside spring. On the back of the lock is stamped CVRY above a patent number.

The brass key is 2 inches long. It is stamped CVRY on one side and on the other side is stamped a letter C. There is no maker’s stamp on the key.

Artifacts from the Central Vermont are difficult to find -- especially a working lock and key together. This set would be a star addition to any collection of early padlocks, or RR locks and keys, especially for a New England or Vermont railfan.
