Item Details

Description

This key is from the James River Valley and Northwestern Railroad. It was made by Bohannan and it has a low serial number of 71 and an "S" on the reverse. This key came from our C&NW/Iowa consignor.

March 23, 2022 - There has been a concern from a very experienced collector (I've known over 32 years) that this may be a "Sullivan" reproduction key. It may be, I do know that the lettering is not standard Bohannan and looks more like Adams & Westlake and the basic "form" of the key is not a standard Bohannan blank.. Please bid accordingly.
