Lot #96 - Eastern Steamship - Switch style Key
Electric Service Supplies Co. of Philadelphia
Brass Hollow Barrel key from the Eastern
Steamship Company. Special Purpose is "L" marked on the front in
smaller lettering. The Fraim hallmark on the reverse is the
"Banner" rather than the later "Keystone". The barrel
has a double ring and the key shows little use. Excellent condition. Info from a collector: I've seen a number of these keys and the locks that are
shackle-stamped that go with them in my 36 years of seeking locks of all
kinds. This is a key that was made for the Electric Service Supplies Co. of
Philadelphia, a supplier to the electric traction industry. It seems ESSCO
had their locks and keys marked for them rather than for the trolley company
they were selling them to. These are always seen to be marked the same as
this one, with the CO being done with a different die stamp.
