Item Details

Description

This may look like just another Boston & Maine common switch key but it's not. Note the bit is a "9" unlike the reverse "9" used on the Eastern Division. This is a Western Division key. The Western Division was the original B&M before they absorbed the Eastern in 1885. Even rarer is to get one of these with a "W D" stamping. It's a nice single ring, large, Bohannan.
