Not a switch lock expert. But Climax was the lock manufacturer. No clue who ECS was. Most switch locks had the railroad name cast or stamped on them. I'm thinking the lock wasn't purchased for use as an actual switch lock, maybe?

sorry but I would love to send a picture of it, but the laptop that I use will not let me do it. all I have is the description that I posted. maybe some one will pick up on the description that I provided? I was hoping that the E.C.S.CO LTD. stamped on the shackle would help?
