Lot #432 - 2 Switch Locks and 1 Key from the Minnesota "Dan Patch Line"
This group of unusual predecessor and
successor lines of the "Dan Patch Line" in Minnesota. The steel lock is stamped MN&S
(Minneapolis Northfield & Southern) across the back with a code of
"14" on the shackle The brass lock has a wonderful MSTPR&DETCO
(Minneapolis St Paul Rochester and Dubuque Electric Traction Company)
stamping on the shackle with the old Adams & Westlake "hex"
logo on the dust cover. I always thought the A&W hex logo would pre-date
a line that just existed from 1917-1918 The key is marked MN&S with Adlake on
the reverse. The key only trips the brass lock. The steel lock probably
needs some oil. These are unusual Minnesota items. The
brass lock markings are very nice.
