There may also have been one coming southbound on Rt 3. I don't recall one on Rt 104 or Parade Rd, but I traveled those roads rarely.

I'm sure you're right but the only one I have a specific recollection of is the one I mentioned. I remember that one looking half fallen down 40 years ago. Just did a quick google search and the term latchkey seems to have been used since the pretty early 1900s.
