| | | | The picture below shows larger front and back views of this Old Unused St. Lawrence Seaway Advertising Souvenir Brass Metal Key Chain. The keychain is not dated but it is old. It is an advertising coin with a charm or fob hole made for a brass metal bead chain to hold keys. One side has an image of the Robert Moses Dam in Massena, New York, and the other side has a merchant ship or vessel at the Eisenhower lock on the Saint Lawrence Seaway. It is marked on the two sides as follows: ROBERT MOSES DAM
MASSENA N.Y. EISENHOWER LOCK
ST. LAWRENCE SEAWAY The medallion on the keychain measures about 1-1/8'' x 1-3/8'' x 1/16''. We are not coin graders, and conditions can be subjective, so please see the picture(s) to judge for yourself. To us it appears to be in mint unused condition as pictured. Below here, for reference is some additional information: Saint Lawrence Seaway

Geography
Start point: Port Colborne, Ontario
End point: Montreal, Quebec The Saint Lawrence Seaway (French: la Voie Maritime du Saint-Laurent) is the common name for a system of locks, canals and channels that permit ocean going vessels to travel from the Atlantic Ocean to the Great Lakes, as far inland as the western end of Lake Superior. The Seaway is named for the Saint Lawrence River, which flows from Lake Ontario to the Atlantic Ocean. Legally, the Seaway extends from Montreal, Quebec, to Lake Erie and includes the Welland Canal. This section upstream of the Seaway is not a continuous canal; rather, it consists of several stretches of navigable channels within the river, a number of locks, and canals along the banks of the St. Lawrence River to bypass several rapids and dams along the way. A number of the locks are managed by the Canadian Saint Lawrence Seaway Management Corporation, and others are managed by the American Saint Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation, which together advertise the Seaway as part of "Highway H2O". The section of the river downstream of Montreal, which is fully within Canadian jurisdiction, is regulated by the offices of Transport Canada in the Port of Quebec. |
