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!

Would like to do something unique with them, but haven't been inspired yet :(

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 ;D

God bless
Peter

Glad you enjoyed them river rat ;D 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 ::)

God bless
