VINTAGE/ANTIQUE
COLLECTIBLE
PRE-OWNED
SKELETON KEYS –
ALL
but one are
– HOLLOW/BARRELED – as shown…..
The ONE key that is not a BARREL key is the shown in its individual photo.
The sizes range from the smallest – 1.375″ long – to up to 1.725″……long approximately.
The largest Key is on the first row – SECOND KEY from left – in the first posted photo.   It has the number “P116” stamped on one side – other side is blank.
The smallest key(stamped CORBIN) is on the FIRST/TOP ROW – FIRST key in the row from the left in the FIRST photo posted group shot posted above.   It appears to be a mfg defect being that the three circular/decorative holes at the upper end of this key were not completely punched through during the manufacturing process.  One hole is perfect and another is partially complete.  The third hole/circle is not complete.  See photos.
There are two Corbin keys – one of them highly unusual that has “G41” stamped on one side.  There are four other keys that have a number and or letters stamped on them.   Most are unmarked/UN-stamped.   One I can’t make out the stamp.
These wonderful skeleton keys belonged to my father who loved collecting them.    Time to start selling many fine things of his.
The
condition – as shown – is UNPOLISHED/NON-RESTORED – STEEL – with normal sign of
wear/tear/light rust – as shown.    One key looks to be NICKEL SILVER.
Please check-out closely the many photos that I have posted above for your own, personal evaluation.

Successful bidder agrees to pay Seller by PayPal within the stipulated time frame set forth in this auction below.
Payment to be received WITHIN 2 (two) business days from close of auction PLEASE unless other arrangements between buyer and seller have been made PRIOR to close of auction! If payment is NOT received within stated time frame, I reserve the right to cancel the sale and sell the item to the NEXT highest bidder.
I am a little old-fashioned, as you will not find any dancing icons, flashing messages, or background music on my auctions. My energies are devoted to item description which include an honest assessment of condition (with flaws, defects or shortcomings noted), plus usually an over abundance of clear, close-up photos. I would rather over describe, than have a disappointed customer.
SHIPPING/HANDLING CHARGES
Buyer to pay

$6.00

shipping/packaging to ANY of the lower 48 UNITED STATES – with Tracking/Delivery included.    Insurance provided by Seller when applicable.   My shipping cost is a flat rate estimate.    My shipping charges are based on shipping from LOS ANGELES.    Needless to say, I do not know the specific destination, in the Continental USA, that this item will be shipped to.    So if you think the estimated shipping/packaging charges are not reasonable, please simply reduce the amount of your bid to what YOU think the shipping cost SHOULD BE.    USPS shipping cost have skyrocketed the past couple years.    My intentions are to NOT make any profit on my shipping/packaging charges.   I have lost money on my estimated, flat rate shipping charges on some of my estimated shipping charges – in the past.
I DO NOT SHIP TO ANY PayPal UNCONFIRMED ADDRESS.
IMPORTANT:
If your shipping address is in the State of
Alaska & or Hawaii
– you will be required to pay additional shipping charges – when applicable.    No exceptions.
NO Sales or Shipping to any foreign “Countries”.
No shipping outside the Continental USA.     No exceptions.
Only serious bidders PLEASE. If you are the winning bidder, you have entered into a LEGALLY, binding, contract to purchase the item described.   You should contact ME to resolve any questions about purchasing this item(s) BEFORE you bid.
A brief “WORD TO THE WISE” to all bidders (especially e-Bay “first timers”).    PLEASE do not set yourself up to get “sniped” (blocked out) at the very last minute or second of an auction. Your bid should always be for the MAXIMUM $$ you would spend for this item. This strategy will avoid you from losing out at the very last second because TIME ran out and you could not respond before the auction ended. REMINDER this is a “TIMED” auction not a normal auction where every bidder gets one more chance to place ONE more bid. If you place a maximum bid, e-Bay’s automatic, electronic, bidding process will bid FOR YOU (as NEEDED) and worst case you will end up bidding your maximum amount without being the FINAL HIGH BIDDER. But you will not have lost out because you could not place just ONE more FINAL bid. I have had e-mails in the past from buyers after the close of my auction, stating that they would have bid higher on an item if only they would have had ONE more chance to place another bid before time expired. I, as a seller, can only sell to the highest bidder when time expires.
I follow all eBay POLICES and STRIVE for 5-STAR SERVICE on each and every TRANSACTION.   Please remember, when YOU GIVE 4 STARS, it may seem like a GREAT SCORE, BUT a 4 ON ANY STAR is a 4.0 and EBAY considers this a SUB PAR MARK SINCE THE minimum REQUIREMENT IS 4.40.    So, if you are happy with your TRANSACTION PLEASE RESPOND WITH ALL 5 STARS.    IF YOU ARE NOT PLEASED/HAPPY then just LET ME KNOW and WE WILL WORK to try and MAKE IT THAT WAY very quickly.
All sales are FINAL unless the item is “grossly misrepresented”.
THANKS, GOOD LUCK bidding. and I look forward to working with the lucky successful high bidder real soon. Best Regards, Dan
