Agent's Keys, Speonk, NY LIRR
Keys and I.D.  tag courtesy of Tom Collins, 
Dave Keller archive

The two long keys ^(1,2) are somewhat different versions of the old "coach key" used to (literally) lock up the end storm doors of the Pullman-Standard Coaches (2700, 2800 & 2900's)...all used the same ones.

The flat key is an old locker key⁽⁶⁾ from the Agents Office to keep "his" stuff, and two of the shorter hollow barrel keys are signal keys. ^(4,7)

The other flat key, (not the old Ford ignition key ⁽³⁾ , with less "teeth" to it is for an old Miller (Mfgr) 6 or 8 lever lock⁽⁵⁾ with a "push" key⁽⁸⁾, used for signal or other general purpose locks...possibly with baggage use (as in literally lock up the baggage or freight packages...in a shed or room for that specific purpose).  The tag⁽⁹⁾ is great.   Info: Robert Myers
