In organizing an Estate Auction on Friday, we noticed several boxes of locks and keys. Included were two railroad locks, one was a C&O and the other was not identifiable on first review. There are approximately 500 locks and thousands of keys including skelton keys.

In our first pass, we sorted 3 large (and very heavy) boxes of locks. I am sure there will be more RR locks as we continue to group and organize the sale. As a contracted agent, I am unable to bid on or pre-purchase the items due to conflict of interest.

The auction is to settle a large estate and all property must be sold at public auction. There is likely more RR memorabilia that we find uncover as we continue the auction setup. We are unboxing hundreds of boxes and each one has the potential of uncovering a hidden nugget.

If trainweb members have an interest in the RR memorabilia, I will arrange for property descriptions and *.jpg pictures be sent to you for absentee and sealed bids. The auction is so large it likely be a two day sale (Fri. 6-10pm Mar. 28 and Sat. 10-4pm Mar. 29) or a long Saturday (Mar. 29) sale.

The complete inventory will be online with descriptions with pictures of some items by March 9.
