FOLKS, I believe this to be one fascinating and unique offering and any collector of railway locks and keys will certainly be delighted with this rare piece (we do not have the key but any locksmith will be able to make one for you) which will make a wonderful gift for any collector of rare and rarely seen items of this type and kind or as a great addition to YOUR collection, or as a gift to the history museum of your choice and I am certain that our friends at the various museums and historical societies as well as the numerous collectors plus those interested in material such as this will want this piece, being offered with a VERY modest min bid and no reserve. We will ship this rare lock as you see it, heavily protected with VERY strong packaging, our shipping prowess well known to our legions of satisfied buyers. I know that you can and do understand (COPY?!!) that, as with all china, silver, photos, negatives, postcards, timetables and paper items that we sell, this rare lot is NON-returnable and NON-refundable, so PLEASE be sure to e-mail any ?? you have PRE-bidding. As a famous and beloved personage would have said, "fascinating," and as Billy Crystal would say, "this offering is both unique and gaw-giss, dahing, gaw-giss!" This is a super find for any collector of historic items of this type as well as those collecting Seaboard Air Line Railroad as well as regional memorabilia, information or material in general from that genre or era. There is NO reserve on this pair and a VERY modest minimum bid. Pkg/ship/USPS tracking is $8.95 (That amount for US ground advantage W/TRACKING and INSURANCE, more overseas or to Canada) (AND, YES, WE WILL COMBINE SHIPPING ON ANYTHING THAT YOU WIN!) As "Kramer" would say on "Seinfeld," "Oh, mama, this is one great and rare find, Jerry!"
