Jenny Kompolt, contributor | June 12th, 200911 comments

I found 10 pounds of vintage keys in a bucket at the salvage yard – a cool find in itself, but the best part was that most of them still had their old hand written tags to include Testing Center, IBM Machine Cabinet, Trophy Case, etc.

Orange, blue, green, red, yellow, black, gray...
