Anyone Collect the Old Telco Locks?

[Doug Rose]

I got really lucky last week on eBay with a BIN now delivered for $30 for a great old NY Telco lock by Corbin. It had just been listed, right time right place. Heavy brass lock and chain and a copper locking top. I have never found one with a key, but this guy had a beautiful copper key with it. So cool....Doug

Awesome lock Doug,

That's in great condition and with a key for only 30 bucks?
I seen those on the gray boxes near the railroad lines here around town. One time when I was younger I found one unlocked and opened it and found a black rotary ITT phone inside and dialed a few numbers from it. It only allowed instate calls but was free and fun at the time. I still see them but they are always locked
