Hello everybody, I found this old skeleton key with some nice detail. It's very large and solid.... 7 1/4 inches in length and 2 1/4 inches at its widest point- it looks like iron. Does anybody have any information? It really looks like it was dug out of the ground. Must be European. Any help would be much appreciated.
Hello,
I have a key similar to yours. Did you find out any information?
Thank you.
I have 4 on a large ring they don't look quite as beat up as yours but I'm told there prison keys I think 1850's -1920's roughly I'm totally new to collecting this kind of stuff I was also told the older one's are usually stamped I don't know with what and mine aren't stamped if you hear anything else let me know
i have bunch of 6 similar keys i dug them up in a castle in jersey channel island the castle is dated back to the 1500s.
