For sale. Three couplers. One is finished, one is finished but needs a pin to hold the knuckle in, one is not machined at all.

Thanks

I don't have any info except that they are cast iron.

I've never heard of these. I was cleaning over dads, found them, he said to find them a home.

They look like the style used by some of the Montreal Live Steamers.

Lehigh RR, later Miller's Backyard Railroad. Often referred to as 'Iron Fists'.

Yes, these are VERY Old. I've seen a few of them around, usually only on equipment built back in the '60s. They can be modified slightly to work with more modern couplers. I was going to say that I know that Miller Backyard Railroad sold them. They also had an aluminum version at one time. I had a couple of those, and used them on a small caboose. Like most aluminum couplers, knuckle breakage was a problem, and was what got this pair.
