Skeleton Key

Authentic 1800's French. Each key is unique. Small - Between 1-2" Large - Between 3-4"  Most people know them from movies unlocking secret doors or as essential pickups in video games. But in reality, skeleton keys are utilitarian tools designed to open a wide variety of locks, especially older ones. They’re a type of master key, stripped down to just the essential parts—just enough to turn the locking mechanism. Not only are they fascinating relics from the past, but some people also use them in more mystical practices, symbolizing the opening of new paths or possibilities. Pretty neat, huh?
