Description

This could be Norfolk & Western or Norwich & Worcester. It's from a New England collection that had other early keys so I am leaning on Norwich & Worcester. If you live in Virginia?.. Go with Norfolk & Western which does go back to 1881. In either case Thomas Slaight keys are desirable. It has a slightly darker finish than other keys in this collection.

10/7/2023-A knowledgeable friend from Virginia says it is Norwich & Worchester.
