What a nice find!

Did they come with keys? How many have you picked yet? :mrgreen:


Thanks for sharing!
Go ahead, keep plugging away, picking on me! You will end up on bypass or with rigor mortise.

Cool! Nice instant picking collection. Get a file and a handfull of blanks and learn impressioning!

None of them have key ... The guy rides a bicycle and found them on the side of the road .. Funny thing is, I have been looking at getting a American 5200 and a Master 7040....

Agreed GWiens2001 .. I will pick and impression them

That is a great collection to start picking, I could barely have put together a better starter bucket even if I planned on that.
Start with the roomier keyewayd master locks :) Or maybe the unknown chinese.
