<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 711662, member: 37"]Most of these look like pretty standard minimal security cabinet/door lock keys. The more complex keys would have been for locks where security was truly a concern. Some might be identifiable as to maker by shape but really doesn't matter much. Most keys sold are for decorative or functional use. Few true collectors out there and most of these would be of minimal interest to them. I sell keys as fast as I can get them and we always have people coming in to the shop searching for just the right cabinet key for use.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
