See this brass skeleton key? Well, I found this at the flea market last Saturday when I attended the Atlanta area bloggers quarterly meeting. The meeting was held at a local flea market and after the meeting was over we browsed the booths.
I had gone all through the store and didn't really see anything that jumped out at me. Then in the last few minutes I decided to just casually browse some of the booths again that were close to the check out counter.
Then I saw it. This big beautiful brass skeleton key. Now, this did jump out at me and even jumped into my hand.
$99 on One Kings Lane
And this one is $89 on One Kings Lane. Both keys are large like the one I found and sold in their vintage market finds. It was so funny seeing these on their site a week after I found one.
I added my new find to this basket on the coffee table that holds some design books, vintage books,
and a couple of my magnifying glasses and this deer shed found on our property years ago.
The best thing about my big brass skeleton key is I didn't pay $99 or $89.
Nope, I paid no where near those prices.
I didn't even pay $20 or $10.
Want to know what I paid?
Even the cashier was
surprised how much it was.
3 bucks!
Yep, 3 smackaroos!
So sometimes it pays to go through the store once and then maybe make a pass back through again. You just never know what you might have overlooked.
If you are interested in paying $89 or $99 for one they are still available on One Kings Lane.
We're off to see my beautiful niece get married this afternoon.
Enjoy your day.
I love it Kim and you can't beat the price!!

ReplyDeleteVery cool find Kim. Funny, but right now I'm really into brass. It looks so rich when it's aged.
