Thread: Recently purchased around 60 keys at a market sale

Please post some pictures and we maybe able to tell you more. Example we maybe able to tell you the lock they fit.

Hi Dean,
I guess that would help. Here are the pics. The 5th pick is a little something I did with a few of them. Since they are mounted I dont think I will bother trying to check the other side of them for info. The last pic is just for fun. It's a very large framed mirror I purchased at a yard sale and the mirror was broken - so I tossed the mirror and had a little fun with it. Looks great over the fire place.

No pictures showing up ? Can you see them in your post ?

I am guessing the wrong file type. I see a hipper link for them but they come up as error.

hhmmm! They are all jpeg files. Lemme see what i'm doing wrong here. Be back with you shortly.

Looks as if it may have worked this time. yes?

here is a pic of the ones i mentioned i had mounted before checking.

looks like when i try to post a quick reply it doesn't work correctly ~ but advanced reply seems to do the trick.

This is the old broken mirror i mentioned.

Ok, of the three pictures in the one post. Most of the "Skelleton" keys are standard door keys for lever locks made around 1870-1930. This is not saying those keys are that old just the locks they fit are made about then. There are several clock winding keys that have square holes in them. There are a few I have not seen the locks for.
