Notes
This key likely dates to before the Monon became the Louisville, New Albany & Chicago RailWAY in 1872. The key opens a marked Geo. B. Bahr & Co. car lock. The key is similar in color to known early Geo. B. Bahr keys, but the stamped letters are smaller than the typical Bahr markings, and the key is shorter.
