Anyone know what it is?

My Grandfather gave me about 15 locks that he had been collecting, and I know what most of them are but I have never heard of this company before. Anyone have any information on them?

Oh wow, that is a really beautiful lock.

The value of this lock was said to be $100 in 1996

I thought it was a cool lock! I wonder what they usually go for now?

I believe those are RAIL ROAD locks. Do a google search on them.

PS. According to lock history, the Russell & Erwin Mfg. Co. became the Russwin Lock Company.
