Well, there's this round building with an 'ole in the middle somewhere near a racecourse and whose nearest city centre is full of faded-glory Regency architecture which is always happy to receive old keys, specially if they've been used to protect anything interesting ;-) |

Worked a treat, problem was the kids were filching all their parents keys, caused some mayhem! :-) |

Old keys are highly sort after by joiners,antique restorers and of
course locksmiths. We accumulate old locks and other fittings but the keys are always missing. Boxes of old keys at auctions often get good money. Don't throw them away! cheers Jacob |

Nah, I have this vague memory of somewhere like a keycutters having a box in... I do have some oldish ones and I'm loath to just bin them... -- Chav Freebies http://www.chavfreebies.co.uk Free stuff for chavs,Cos you're worth it. |
