Skeleton Keys

Some of the keys I brought home from my father's collection.
He never walked past a key on the sidewalk...
I am linking this post with Rubbish Tuesday.

  3. I have a collection of pretty little keys like that too...they mostly belonged to my mother in law. Actually..you have just reminded me... I have a collection of my father's now too! But he collected just about everything! My favourite image of yours is the second.

  6. Those are really neat keys. And, how far have we come... now we can use a card to access a lock or use a fingerprint. Crazy.

  9. Fascinating subject they are. I was shocked when I was told that there were only 12 different keys for the original houses built in Stratford!

  10. That was a net collection. My husband had a collection of railroad keys, but sold them.

  13. I've never seen a key on the sidewalk, come to think of it. :) I love old keys. A friend of ours once gave us a vintage jail cell key.

    Thanks for stopping by to comment on my RT post.
