Featured Old Keys

I thought these were kind of neat.

 

Handy for you to keep and never sell!!!

 

Ya think. I never considered keeping them.

 

Hi Kasper,
I must have a hundred different keys sizes from itty bitty to 7". I have used so many of them to fit cabinets and stuff that I am down to 100 from 500.

Well I might just have to buy them out right then

 

Yes! You will have boxes, trunks, furniture and clocks that won't have them.

 

Oh! I thought they were yours but if the deal's right...

 

It's Kasper's the price is always right. Lol

Seriously though what would be fair

 

I'm not comfortable with that call so maybe Greg and others.
At least one will be priceless some day with what you do.

 

Funny story. We have two large file cabinets up here. We don't have keys for them. I was really frustrated because they kept locking and I couldn't figure out how. Not all the drawers just some of them.

I pried on them and poked them and just about beat the dickens out of them trying to get them open. I tried picking the lock and the dang lock just fell out. So my husband was up here and I said can you please pick these locks for me because I can't get to my tools are or cleaning supplies. (Which is what everyone keeps in file cabinets right?) LOL!

Anyways, My husband was like sure. He was so proud of himself he said I have this one half way done but I can't get the other. Later in the day I realized these cabinets were not locking at all. It is a safety feature. You can't open more than one drawer at a time. My husband didn't pick the lock he just thought he did. The lock was never locked. LOL! I didn't bother telling him this because ya know he was so proud. LOL! It took me more than 3 months to figure this out. LOL! Not my greatest moment. LOL!

 

Ha!!!!!!!

 

I'm always collecting old keys. I use them to re-key old locks for boxes and stuff that I buy.

 

I sell them in my store at $5 each.
I count a dozen for $60. I would offer $20 - $25 and see if they would go for it.
Looks like that is about what ebay is getting

I bought a big box of old keys from the flea-market once for $100 and it's been really useful. Whenever I need a key, I dig one out and test it, and sometimes I file it down and re-cut it to fit the lock.

 

I have a little box of old keys, Occasionally one will fit something.

 

I've also sold single and multiple keys on Etsy.
Much good luck with your stash.

 

Thank you

 

Hi,
Here is one of my "staches" of keys. I found it easier to put certain sets together. I used to have a bag full but I had some "free" time and started to separate them.
