My father always said if you are going to collect things make sure they can fit in your pocket. Well I can certainly do that with these pocket watch keys ! all of them in one. I still cannot get over the beauty and detail on these wonderful items and have enjoyed collecting them immensely. I have added another 16 to the collection.
Whether they are actually used for the purpose they were intended for, hung on a chatelaine as a pendant or just on display in a cabinet they to me are all stunning. Thanks for looking. Neil

These are wonderful! I’ve never even heard of them and now will go hunting. Thanks for sharing your collection.
Thanks Janasvo. I only started to collect these special items a month ago purely by mistake. I collected Victorian propelling pencils and somebody had stuck a piece of lead in the end of a pocket watch key and I mistakenly bought it thinking it was a small pencil, I bought it for a couple of pounds and ended selling it for £102.00. So that's when I started and you're right I too was unaware of the different types and the beauty of these items, but beware of replicas of the original Victorian pieces. You can pick up the brass advertising keys for next to nothing, up to spending £000s on some of the precious metal ornate fusse ones. Have a look on pw-collector posts to see more cracking
Keys. Good luck. Neil

Nice collection, good looking. Your dad was a wise man and he was right. For years I bought, swapped and collected clock keys, furniture keys and skeleton keys. A few years ago the wrong person or perhaps right person got to see my keys. He made me an offer I couldn't refuse.
Thanks fhrjr2 I think my dad who was a Policeman stole more bits than he paid for lol. Neil
