Greetings Guinevere:

Welcome aboard.
The internet is amazing as a source for previously scattered information.
My articles about antique locks and keys have been published in a
national locksmith magazine for several years.
Additionaly restoration work has been done by myself at Heritage protected sites.
Some photos of my antique keys may be found at Flickr: sandmanbrian777's Photostream
Contained in the descriptions are some insights picked up over the years
of researching antique and ancient hardware.

Some of the images I made of the keys served as a basis for silkscreen prints.
For credible and realistic images the illustrator must have the actual object to
base the graphic on.

Good Luck on your Voyage of Discovery....

Brian .................................................. ....
