My first error key ! Do you have any ?

Got a cool old key? What keyway is this?! Need a key for that old steamer trunk or padlock? Do Not Duplicate got you down? What's that part number for that factory key section? Which supplier has this key blank in stock? Need the MACS, root depth, or Depth and Spacing for your lock? Need some pre cut keys? Keys and Key Blanks is the forum for you!

Check this out, I just thought it was cool. Ultra Rare ! Lol
Sorting through some Segal blanks and found a Star 6SE1 stamped as a 6SE4 (the one on the rt is a 6SE1)
Share some of your error blanks !

I'd have to find any that I had kept.

Most that I see are blanks where they forgot to mill the side warding. I also have a few Assa Twin blanks where the factory forgot to mill the cuts for the sidebar cuts, so it is essentially a blank for a Twin. Even high level dealers are not supposed to have those.

Quite a few ILCO blanks were recalled recently because they were not stamped correctly. They were coined as 1502, but they were actually 1502M.
