Congrats on the cool finds !

It's entirely up to you but I'd clean the Key, Fob and Token in a homemade "Electrolysis Bath".
I've cleaned a few hundred relic similar to yours and gotten very good results.

Good Hunting !

Some really nice finds there, congrats!
Agree with E-Trac, your finds will come out much cleaner and without damage using electrolysis.
Are those all sad irons in the last pic? They must have had a little home laundry business.

Nice recoveries.

That's what I was thinking finding all those irons.
That or the Mr of the house kept tossing them, or she kept throwing them at him.

When you said "assorted irons" i thought it would be all kinds of stuff made of iron, but its actual irons! Did you find those all in one hunt?
