{"product_id":"vintage-skeleton-key-lot-rabbit-foot-seven-crown","title":"Vintage Skeleton Key Lot Rabbit Foot Seven Crown Keychain","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis vintage key assortment is a wonderfully mixed group of old skeleton, barrel, bit, cabinet, furniture, and warded-style keys gathered together on a brass-tone ball chain. The group also includes a real rabbit's foot fob and a worn red Seven Crown plastic key tag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI like this lot because the keys are not all the same. Some are heavy iron keys with large round bows, some have hollow barrel shafts, some are smaller cabinet or furniture keys, and one is brass-tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe different cuts and lengths make the group look like something gathered from drawers, old doors, cabinets, trunks, and furniture over a long period of time. The rust, darkening, and wear belong on keys like these. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/myreadingvintage.com\/collections\/vintage-memorabilia\" title=\"Mixed vintage skeleton and barrel key assortment on ball chain\"\u003eMixed vintage skeleton and barrel key assortment on ball chain\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vintage household, furniture, cabinet, and warded-style keys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mixed vintage age, exact dates not confirmed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e Iron, steel, brass-tone metal, plastic, ball chain, and real fur rabbit's foot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dark iron, silver-tone metal, brass-tone metal, rust brown, red, cream, and natural fur\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaker and Mark:\u003c\/strong\u003e Individual key makers not confirmed.
