George Smolinski Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 My wife found this while cleaning out her mother's apartment. Any ideas what it is? What would the key be for? I'm guessing not any kind of car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1937hd45 Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Henry Hudson Rail Road? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketraider Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 I googled hr railroad and got a hit on NY Central & Hudson River Railroad. A Wikipedia article suggests this key might be pre-1914, as the NYC&HRRR consolidated with several other railroads and reformed as the New York Central, whose most famous train was the NY to Chicago 20th Century Limited. In other words, I think you have an exceptional piece of railroad history there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMoneyPit Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Definitely Railroad, possibly a key to either a private car or a company owned boxcar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
