    My Key collection.....

    Hi Guys and Gals,

    Took out my key collection today. These have been collected over the years from many sources, and many places.

    Those are great keys! Those would make a striking "shadowbox" display with all the different sizes and shapes.

    Nice!

    Peter,

    Nice collection!
    I, too, collect them. Don't know why,,,,just think they're cool.
    Would like to do something unique with them, but haven't been inspired yet

    you till it seems you could not hold on a minute longer,
    never give up then for that is just the place and time that

    Re: My Key collection.....

    Thanks Guys and Gals,

    Yeah keys are very special don't you think? I used to do locksmithing for about 2 years, so picked most of them up during that time. I was not interested in them then so if I think back, I left behind some real woppers

    I am hoping to put them into a frame with material behind them..... Think they will look good

    God bless

    Glad you enjoyed them river rat and thanks goldgrubber.... funny how something like an old key can have such a fascination..... Maybe it's thinking what the key was keeping secure is where the fascination is

    Such a mystery

    Great keys! I display my key collection like coin shooter. I hope this motivates me to put them in a display.
    Just because it did not work does not mean it was not a good plan!
