DM&NR CO LOCK

Lot: 381  Description: DM&NR CO - (Duluth Missabe & Northern) embossed letters down panel of brass heart shaped switch lock with no manufacturers marks shown. Dimpled body with iron clevis. Key cover is lifted a little but still has strong spring and shackle is very loose so sure if operational. I did try lot 289 in the lock however I could not get it to turn. I think it is not going all the way in so it is not allowing the key to clear the inside wall. It is possible that a more worn example would open it. Still early and scarce in excellent condition these locks easily command 4 figures so set at a fair starting price.
Minimum bid: $400
