Key company(s) info

Does anyone know about vintage keys? Found two on consecutive days. First one looks like Russwin. Couldn’t find much of anything online.



Second one I believe is Reading, PA but couldn’t find much on it either.


Thanks for all your help out there!

First is a padlock key.



The second one is Reading Hardware Company. Started 1888. I didn't see a good match.

As Matt already suggested, very likely a padlock or a dead-bolt lock key, probably dating to the 1940 - 50s.
It never ceases to amaze me the amount of decoration key and button makers applied to their items years ago, why it isn't that way today?

You're on fire with your I.D's Matt... "may the next contestant step up with their question, as Matt's ready to take on all inquiries!"
