Exceptionally rare, fully operational piece of railroad history: a complete Adams & Westlake (Adlake) interior passenger car door hardware assembly from the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway (AT&SF), complete with an authentic AT&SF hollow-barrel coach key.
Unlike common outdoor switch padlocks, interior passenger coach door assemblies—especially complete matching sets mounted together—are incredibly hard to find on the market.
Fully Operational: Includes a genuine, period-correct AT&SF stamped hollow-barrel coach key. The key slides smoothly over the internal center pin, turning the mechanism and throwing the heavy lock bolt as intended.
Complete Hardware Vignette:
Top Rim Lock: Heavy cast brass/bronze case featuring clear vertical keyway detailing.
Flush Pull Handle: Recessed slider handle used on tight-clearance sliding pocket doors or compartment dividers.
Secondary Knob & Escutcheon: Lower brass doorknob operating the secondary latch mechanism, paired with an ornate keyhole cover plate.
Heavy, untouched vintage patina across all brass and bronze components. Left unpolished for collectors who value original character.
Mounted on a solid wood display block featuring an old estate/sale lot inventory sticker (#18) on the side edge.
