So I overheard a homeless man downtown on the square talking to his homeless friend about selling some "crypt keys" he found discarded from a storage warehouse. I piped up and acquired them. I'm delighted.
As far as I can tell they are indeed keys for something, from the Crusades era, one is a Cross Cercelée, the large one contains a Formée Pattée in the center of the top with a dot in each quadrant. There are ring and point details at the tips of the plain cross but it is the most decayed and they're discernible only in a few spots.
They are sticky still from being packed in a heavy brown grease, like the Cosmoline old rifles are packed in.
If any one can help me figure out just what they are and where they came from and who may have made or owned them first I'm dying to know!
