Key ident help, plz
This is a long shot, but......I have had for years two small
silvertone keys with 'SARASOTA' embossed on 'em. Any idea what they could be for? I'm ready to toss em out. A friend has one with 'BELL' on it and is similarly in the dark. Are these brand names maybe or a key mfr? Thanks for listening |

Thanks for listening Silvertone could be for a guitar case and the one with BELL could be an old Bell Telephone box key for something like a payphone or equipment box. Without a picture of the keys, that's my SWAG. ^_^ TDD |

Neither she nor anyone in her family ever worked for a telephone company. I have no idea how long she's had that key, tho. Thanks for the SWAG. |

Looks like a key for a fishing box. http://www.basscatstore.com/locks-2.aspx Try this for the Bell. Looks like for a bicycle lock. https://www.google.com/search?q=bell+lock+keys -- Bill In Hamptonburgh, NY In the original Orange County. Est. 1683 To email, remove the double zeros after @ |

Looks like for a bicycle lock. https://www.google.com/search?q=bell+lock+keys I almost never throw keys away because I often find a use for them. One key I kept was a gas cap key to an old car and I discovered that that one little key would open most of the cheap wafer locks I came across. I could insert in a lock, jiggle it a bit and the lock would turn. I suppose it mimicked a professional lock picking tool. ^_^ TDD |

Bell started making bicycle stuff in addition to motorcycle stuff. -- Jeff |
