    How extra-ordinary ... on first view of the key, it gave me a sense of imbalance. So unexpected!
    It would be so nice to read more on the lock and the maker.
    Very good photos too. :)

    WCLCA = West Coast Lock Collectors Association. They typically have back issues of the publications aavailable but I'm not sure if you must be a member or not. You can find WCLCA at the link.

    I would love to see the mechanism inside that lock. Also, I bet that lock would fetch a few thousand dollars, easily. I love it.

    Masterpiece locks like that sell for tens of thousands these days. I've a friend who bought a much simpler mechanism lock 15 years ago for $28,000.00 and then paid $12,000.00 for a key.
