I have quiet a collection of key's that I wear as necklaces, from genuine antique ones, to more modern, and like this one fancy replicas.
I utterly adore this one, my friend Naomi pointed it out to me today while we were looking in my local towns shops, I had to get it XD (it came on a keychain with 5 others.)
If anyone knows of places to get good antique or bizarre keys I am extremely interested!
Excuse the horrid photo, I either win the worst photographer awards, or worst camera!

I got a wicked key that's like 1 foot long, of course it's just a wall decoration, but I still like it ^w^
My dad used to own an auto repair shop, he recently retired, so I got a large tin of all the keys he has collected over the years from customers who just left their cars at my dads =P the oldest I believe is from the late 60's maybe older. Yeah, people just left their cars at my dads, basically forgot about them it seemed. Treated my dad's lot as a junkyard basically. eh, their loss, we were able to make a couple hundred on scrap metal XD

that's a GORGEOUS key. I love them myself but they're so hard to find around here that I gave up on collecting almost before I began. There's something almost magical about holding a really old key though...it's like ...it could transport you back to a different time if you could just fine the lock for it. I dunno, that may actually be silly. X3 I've been known to be.
I have some very old rusty ones ^^ They can be sealed, the rust makes for a nice aesthetic look to them.
My favorite key to wear is actually much smaller than this one pictured, and is a rusty antique Victorian key, it was described as "Victorian, cellar" so I guess it was for a wine cellar haha

I actually don't know O_o haha. I had to put allot of my stuff in storage so many of them are there. I am always collecting new stuff though, I have 6 on my computer desk atm ^^
And I LOVE antique stores, I live in a small area where allot of tourists come, we have I think 8 within 20 minutes from me haha, I am sure they are well used to me XD
