Heart shaped railroad padlock. Shackle stamped “N&N RR”. The key cover, or “drop” on the lock’s front, is embossed “Close The Lock/ To Get Key Out” and the number “15” are imprinted and obscured by the drop. The swing-away shackle, which was patented in 1877 by Yale and Towne, integrated mechanism, and riveted shell also date to the late 1870s. Despite the ampersand in N&N, this is in fact legitimate Nevada Northern lock. The Nevada Northern Railroad Railway was chartered 29 May 1905. - Jacobitz Collection -59533
