Notes

The key has very little wear. The bit matches other Louisville, New Albany & Chicago Railroad water service keys, but the hexagon logo is too late for when the Monon used “Railroad” in its official name. It’s possible the use of “RR” is not that specific, but it’s also possible the key is from the Louisville, New Albany & Corydon Railroad.
