    This would make a great steam punk necklace if I had the key. I measures 1¼" wide and 5/16" thick. The chain is 14¾" long. It has a "12" stamped on the cylinder face. Thought I would share.

      NathanOmega, here is a good sight to go to and check out the Railroad Switch Locks there. By the way, the Railroad Switches were used when switching the tracks. Didn't know if I mentioned that before.

      These might be helpful to you.

      Enjoy!!
