    Default WANTED!.... Wells Fargo & Co Express 6-Lever Pancake Lock

    I am looking for a 6-lever pancake lock marked for "W.F. & Co's EXPRESS" such as the one pictured here. Also looking for other Wells Fargo Express antiques & artifacts such as a strongbox, wooden or porcelain sign, reward poster, broadside, key, lantern, period photographs, etc. Any assistance would be appreciated.

    Items you see on eBay are virtually all bogus...

    Jim Bartz is the foremost expert on WF items. He will tell you whether an artifact is real or phony. : gojimbartz@hotmail.com
