shortline, you seem to have a near complete set of keys to paper towel racks.
I have collected keys for a long time with some emphasis on lever lock types but also high security locks, one of my favorites are the marloc keys, these have three black stripes along the body of the key through which you can see red dots when you put a small light under it in a dark place. the actualy lock costs about $1500 a copy and has both red and green LED's to indicate locked or open states. also dimple keys including some multilock keys, medeco keys papaiz cruciforms, assa double, various abloy types, etc.
A key collection will tell you about bitting spacing and heights, and often something about the mechanism. It is worthwhile to collect keys of new and different types to learn about the mechanisms and have some samples of bittings, if a certain lock has 9 standard bittings, you can often find them all represented on four or five different keys for that type of lock.
I believe that many of the members do have collections of interesting keys but they simply don't post about them.
Wake up and smell the Kafka!!!
