Before the era of pin-tumbler locks, 'skeleton' keys were the universal standard for securing the Victorian-era home and business. Hand-forged by local blacksmiths or cast in industrial foundries, these barrel keys were designed for durability and daily use. These assorted lots represent the wide variety of hardware found in the drawers of 19th-century locksmiths and estate managers, each with its own unique ward and character.
