When my grandfather died, my grandmother told me to take whatever I wanted from his shed. I took his collection of pipes, the cigar box he’d run his business out of for forty years and a huge ring of keys of unknown origin. Thrirty years later, they’re still on display in my garage.
have a bunch of monstrous key rings, plus some loose ones in tool box drawers. Every brass key is brown with tarnish, and every steel one is covered in rust. Do you think I’ll throw them away? Nooooooo!
My bucket of keys goes visiting the local Head Start. The kids just love playing with them. My ‘58 Stude key is in there as well as keys to every car I’ve ever owned………
Who knows, America PIckers might give you cash for some of that stuff, unless you want the reallly meaningful things passed on. If you want them passed on, be sure your offspring know their backstories.
looking back a few days, just thinking how respectful were the responses to where-were-you-on-this-date, and how proud I was of my fellow “Pluggers,” when suddenly it got so partisanly vitreolic…
I have a lot of keys, but now I can go for days without using any keys. Electronic key card at work, keyless ignition on my car, and an electric garage door opener. Ain’t technology wonderful?

Pluggers also have plenty of cigar boxes to store stuff in.

That 62 Valiant was a great car! I learned to drive in one.

I found a batch of old keys. Once I determined that they did not go to anything in the home. I recycled them all.
