Key ident help, plz

Silvertone could be for a guitar case and the one with BELL could be an old Bell Telephone box key for something like a payphone or equipment box. Without a picture of the keys, that's my SWAG. ^_^

TDD

I have never owned a guitar. The Sarasota key has a number S001 stamped on it.

Neither she nor anyone in her family ever worked for a telephone company. I have no idea how long she's had that key, tho. Thanks for the SWAG.

The Sarasota may have been for a boat. See

Maybe the Bell was for a helicopter ?? ;-)

Maybe this for the Sarasota? Looks like a key for a fishing box.

Try this for the Bell. Looks like for a bicycle lock.

You could try alt.locksmithing. It is really dead these days, but some of the regulars probably still check it.

I almost never throw keys away because I often find a use for them. One key I kept was a gas cap key to an old car and I discovered that that one little key would open most of the cheap wafer locks I came across. I could insert in a lock, jiggle it a bit and the lock would turn. I suppose it mimicked a professional lock picking tool. ^_^

See if the bell fits a bicycle lock. Bell started making bicycle stuff in addition to motorcycle stuff.
