[QUOTE="prestoncohunter, post: 718198, member: 10899"]Near as I can tell it would have been made between 1925 and 1931 so it's not quite an antique yet. It appears to be the original globe, but the globe is not marked [img]https://i.imgur.com/92EBr1o.jpg[/img] It has what looks like hardened tar in several places so I rubbed it with a pencil lead to make out the brand for certain. [img]https://i.imgur.com/MJBSLHi.jpg[/img] Not sure what railroad it would have been for, the only local railroad that would have a W in it would have been the Western Maryland and I do have a lock marked WMRR but I don't think there is enough space between the W and the CO to have WMRR but possibly a WM would fit, however I don't know if they ever used just the WM. I could probably get the "tar" off of it but don't want to clean it that deep. [img]https://i.imgur.com/RzTbctX.jpg[/img] I am not a railroad collector, so any additional information is welcome.[/QUOTE]
