    I found these keys on a job I was on. (I'm a joiner). And am wondering if they may be worth something. Or just to through them in the shed lol

    To my eye they look like decorative keys from a home furnishings store.

    No they are bridge warded keys that would have been in quite common use in Britain 100 years ago. I am afraid that they have low value but are attractive and solid cast iron keys.

    Thanks Tom,

    I have a couple of these in my collection and had just not got around to asking about them. You killed 2 birds with one post. Nice aim. :) :)
