It might be easier for someone to help you identify the keys if you post pictures of them.

Hi, thanks for your question. Most of the keys we talk about on this forum are brass and have numbers on them. A photo would really help here.

Please take a photo of the keys and upload it to http://tinypic.com/ and then Paste the link to the photos in your reply. Maybe we can help once we see a photo.

Please provide context as to how you found them.. outside on the sidewalk? digging in the attic? at a yard sale? Dealing with old locks and keys involves a lot of detective work, the more clues you give us the better the answer we give you.

Thanks,
Squelchtone

Those look like furniture lock keys, like some cabinets in older furniture.

Yes, so you can just assign numbers to your concubines. That will save some time. "Bring in number 583 tonight… now where is that key…?" :wink:
