David's "Key"



I spent Friday scouring a few antique stores hoping to find either an old piano, old typewriter, or old door locks. I found many cool locks but they were all separated from their doors and drawers.

Thinking that I had nothing I headed to my local True Value store and took some photos of the nifty door lock sets they had set up, all with the keys sticking out or hanging up beside them. I ended up with pictures that could easily be used for a Schlage brochure.

Then I turned around and saw a collection of new "old fashioned" hardware items, this key was among them. It looked like it might work in an antique dresser I have at home so I bought it. Sure enough, it works great. Now I have a lockable drawer for all my secret things.
