I was told that these were old railroad keys from Central Illinois. Anybody know the possible worth of these three keys? Thank you.  ;D

Illinois Central Gulf RxR

Illinois Central RxR

Try searching for Railroad Switch box keys.

Depending on the railroad they can sell for up to $25 each. Average price $7 - $18
