Description

I was in the mountains in Helen, Georgia and while hiking I found a cool looking key which was covered in dirt. I am not sure how old it is, and how long it has been in the dirt either. I just found it yesterday, so I haven't asked anyone else about it. It looks similar to a skeleton key, but I'm no expert in the subject.

Category General Antiques and Collectibles
Medium The key looks as if it is made from silver. It was in the dirt and it doesn't look rusty so it has to be made from a good material.

it looks like a key that was made to wear because of the hole on the end of it. the steam punk movement made it cool to wear them as jewelery . it caught on in china and japan first. 1.49 plus shipping     https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Antique-Retro-Vintage-Old-Look-Skeleton-Key-Fancy-Bow-Charm-Necklace-Pendant-Metal-Craft-DIY-Handmade/32684407952.html
