Pennsylvania Railroad Cast Back Lock (UPDATE Better Pics)

[mrwirtner]

so while detecting today on my grandmothers land (which an old branch of the PRR splits up the middle) i dig a lock wich cleans up very well and if i had a key would most likely be functional. but i cannot seen to find any info on it. just wondering if anyone on here would know anymore than what i could find out which is just that it was manufactured by fraim for the prr. any info and thoughts on value would be greatly appreciated. the pic is of one identical. i will post a pic of mine when the camera is up and running


UPDATE: got my camera working heres pics of my actual lock
should i try to clean this or leave it in its current condition?
