My Skeleton Keys

I was inspired to put together my antique key collection for a photo…

  3. hello, this is in reply to all those people looking for skeleton keys, i may be only 15 years old but i think i can help. I have over 300 skeleton keys as of right now, and i find that the antique shops near me are quite good about tracking down unmatched (not having a lock they go into) keys and often sell them fairly cheap. although, with all the idiots these days collecting antiques with no idea how precious they are, prices are soaring
