Ok, for those who don't know what that is...
that is a Pennsylvania Rail Road switch lock used back in the late 1800's to the early 1900's to lock the switches to keep people from redirecting the trains.. This lock as you see, so far i got a pretty accurate date and is from on or around 1868, made by Slaymaker in Lancaster Pennsylvania.. No its not for sale before you ask, I already turned down a $15,000 dollar offer
