Vintage MOPAC, Missouri Pacific Railroad Signal Padlock, Collector, Obsolete

Description

Includes chain and tested and working key.
We are not collectors so please see pics for details. We do the best we can to identify the locks we sell, both doing research and referring to a master list left by our family member that collected these. That said, the buyer is requested to do their own due diligence. If we make mistakes we are always happy to be corrected.
Terms & FAQs
:
1) SHIPPING: please note shipping is a standard 10 BUSINESS DAYS. Due to changes in the eBay marketplace, instead of the 1-4 day shipping time we strived for previously, in most cases (not all) it will now most likely be a minimum of three to four business days before we ship (10 days is rare but has sometimes been necessary). In most cases now we will have not even received funds from the sale before that time and we will not ship until we have. We also ship everything through eBay so you will automatically be notified when it ships so please try not to email us asking when an item will ship or if it has, it just slows us down even more. We do not offer rush shipping. We do not offer combined shipping as a rule but will consider it upon request. Please note shipping is not just a shipping charge but a
packaging
charge as well. We put a lot of time & money into both.
2) OFFERS: Most of the time we leave open offers and take all into consideration but due to what is often a very large volume of it we will only respond if we are interested so please don't be offended if we don't respond either way. Too often declined offers are treated as an invitation to send yet another slightly increased offer and an attempt to engage us in private bidding and we simply don't have the time for that, it's why we're here. Due to the occasional high volume though we do miss some fair offers however and often will go back and offer the price again at times if we have. Here's a hint too: make it enough for us to want to forgo the bidding process and potentially a much higher selling price.
3) Special shipping requests: We charge a flat shipping fee and so reserve the right to use whatever shipping method/company is most suitable. We are usually happy to meet any shipping needs however any special requirements for shipping by the buyer need to be inquired about beforehand, not after the bidding has finished and we will not be bound by such requests otherwise. If shipping to a PO box is required, we will in all likelihood use USPS.
