Grafton, Iowa 50440 Collecting 46 years (1980) years Marked RR locks and keys (switch, signal, etc.) Facebook%20-%20RR%20locks%20and%20key%20collectors
Started color slide photography in 1976(!) first job and drivers license in 1979. Through a best friend I still have, we met RR employees in Minn., and Iowa who introduced us to RR hardware uses and collecting. Scott Arden's RR Dispatch, and Grandpa's depot in 1980. High School graduation 1981. Photography/ O-Scale Modeling/RR artifacts ever since. I am a lock collector first, then come the keys. I get the greatest satisfaction from Exact Matching sets example - F-S lock/ F-S key. I only collect keys that will work a lock! Some wear, but no missing markings also! My collection - My rules! Always happy to give my 2 cents on what You have, with A-Lot of experience to back it up. Thank You, Rich.
