There are a few surviving original WW&F switch locks. I have one and it's shop struck "W W & F RY" on the front of the hasp with "S" on the back. The brass locks were made in 1907 by Slaymaker in Lancaster, PA and the dust cover is not marked. The lock shown here is not from the WW&F but it's a rare (iron?) lock with an interesting mark on the brass dust cover.
