This particular batch of rusty vintage metal keys came to me very rusty -- these old skeleton keys have been cleaned with a mild, all-natural rust remover. They still have bits of rust, for that lovely aged patina that old metal gets, but removing the rust allows the natural details to peek through.
I'm not sure of the exact age of these vintage metal keys or the exact metal content -- if it helps, these keys are magnetic. I believe them to be cast iron, but I'm no expert so I could be wrong!
Some keys have words etched into the top of the skeleton key or bent tabs at the part that enters the locket.
The antique skeleton keys measure between 1.5 inches (40 mm) - 3.5 inches (85 mm).
You will get ten (10) randomly selected keys. You will NOT receive a matching set of skeleton keys, but I may be able to find you a close-to-matching set if you convo me before your purchase.
