A collection of cast brass keys of varying designs and sizes, presented on a single brass split-ring. The group is headlined by a large skeleton key measuring 9 inches in length, which features a prominently turned, bulbous shank and an ornate, complex bit with symmetrical geometric cutouts and a hollow tip. The assortment also includes a secondary key with a decorative bit featuring a keyhole-shaped central cutout, alongside several smaller cabinet or drawer-style keys with simpler bit configurations and oval or circular bows. The styles range from Baroque revival to 19th-century cabinet designs. All items are manufactured from cast brass, displaying characteristic surface textures and occasional casting seams.
