Cast Iron Gardeners Keys by Gardman

Product Information

For example, Ford and GMC have their logos engraved on a lot of the older model car keys. Samsonite, a company well known for suitcases and luggage also often had their brand stamped on the key. Some of the listed capacity on a Flash storage device is used for formatting and other functions and thus is not available for data storage. As such, the actual available capacity for data storage is less than what is listed on the products. For more information, go to Kingston's Flash Memory Guide.

It will be clear from this that any jargon terms such as lift key or rotary key cannot be used without full explanation of what you mean, and are no substitute for a meticulous description. The main typologies are Ward Perkins’s, developed for the keys in the London Museum; and Goodall’s, a modification of the London system developed in Winchester ( Biddle 1990, 1005-36). The London system uses Roman numerals, and the Winchester system uses Arabic numerals. Ward Perkins believed that type VI dated to the 14th and 15th centuries ( 1940, 140), but reliable dating evidence is scarce. A fragment from London, missing its bow, was found in a context of c. 1270-1350 (Egan 1998, no. 313). On February 8, 2016, Kingston Technology Company, Inc., announced it had acquired the USB technology and assets of IronKey from Imation. [11]In the 1970’s, suitcases began to shift in style and design, and today many people use simply bags or rolling cases. While a suitcase key you find may be over 50 years old, these keys aren’t much different in style or shape than ones you can buy today. 6. Stringed Instrument Case Keys Goodall defines these as having the bit set centrally to the stem, and Ward Perkins calls them the ‘symmetrical form’. There are perhaps three main forms on the database, one with a lozenge bow, another with a circular bow with off-centre knop, and a plainer one with simple circular bow. Exactly how deeply the stem needs to be split to qualify it as a type 5, rather than just a key with a solid stem (as below), is not yet defined. As there are so few of this type, it’s best to add ‘Winchester type 5’ to the classification field even if the identification is a bit uncertain. Some of these keys appear to be regionally distinctive. Rogerson and Ashley (2012) have suggested that one type (image above, centre top) may have been produced in the Aylsham area of Norfolk; and another (image above, centre below), with lozenge bow and four circular perforations, seems to be common in the midlands, centred around Lichfield. A detailed study of the different designs of type VI keys, and their distributions, is long overdue.

When lost, the keys stored on it are lost as well. A new key ring can be bought from Yanni Salika in Shilo Village for 500 coins and the keys must be collected again. This also requires having used the antique lamp from completing the One Small Favour quest, otherwise Yanni will not offer to sell the key ring.Ring-keys were classified by Guiraud (1989, 191-3) as her finger-ring type 5. Guiraud divided them into five sub-types on the basis of the bit, but only Guiraud types 5a and 5b are at all common. Type 5a usually has a hollow stem and a bit with a slot immediately below the stem, but can come in simpler versions as well (e.g. WILT-C592D7, shown below). Type 5b has a very short stem and a square or rounded bit with openwork centre. Roman ring-keys. Left, three keys of Guiraud type 5a (left above, WILT-C592D7; left below, LIN-CA7623 (with decorated ring); right, DOR-8FF913). Right, three keys of Guiraud type 5b (left, BM-B35729; centre, SUR-452144; right, BM-DE9D93). If the bit is missing, in theory it is impossible to tell which of the sub-types of ring-key you are dealing with, but in fact almost all type 5a keys have the stem projecting from one end of the bezel, and almost all type 5b keys have the stem projecting from the centre of the bezel. Many of the newer cars starting in 2017 do not even require a key to turn on, which some of us who learned to drive on older cars may never quite get used to. (I’m starting to, slowly! lol) The bit is always quite simple, often symmetrical, sometimes uncut. They are normally made from cast copper-alloy, but can occasionally be made from folded sheet. A selection of medieval ‘casket’ keys. Left, three keys with projecting stem-tips. Top to bottom: YORYM-BA5220, SUR-213DCA, YORYM-F9FB06. Centre, three keys with hollow tips to the stem. Top to bottom: SWYOR-1E38C8 (with lozenge bow), LIN-45359F, BUC-7FCC12. Right, cast and sheet-metal keys. Top to bottom: NLM-8E3BA4 (cast, with filemarks), DENO-273694 (of folded sheet metal).

Casket keys do not fall into either Winchester or London types. For these, it is useful to use ‘casket’ in the Description field. The remaining types are those with the solid stems, either in line with the end of the bit or projecting beyond. If larger than a casket key, these theoretically fall into Winchester types 6, 7, and 8, and London types IV, V, VII and VIII. But examples in copper alloy are rare, and it is not worth trying to allocate them to a typology which was essentially developed for iron keys. Some of the very few large copper-alloy keys that are not London type VI, nor really Winchester type 5 because the split part of their stems are not particularly long. Left: SWYOR-704617. Right: GAT-954187. The best-photographed example on the PAS database is shown below, but this does not have an end-on view showing details of the bit. It is always useful to take as many angles as you can, as these keys can be difficult to reconstruct from limited views. Winchester type B The first step in identifying a key you might find is to look at the shape of the key and take note of any marks that might indicate the brand or manufacturer. A lot of times you can identify what a key is used for based on its shape and style. 1. Antique Barrel Keys & Round Keys for Old DoorsPhonograph cabinet keys are very similar in style to antique barrel keys, but one main difference is they usually have some type of specialty design on the head/bow of the key or in some cases even a logo/maker’s mark on them. When Ward Perkins (1940, 134-141) established his typology of large London keys, it was the only type that was mainly found in copper alloy. It does not occur as a separate type in Goodall’s Winchester typology, presumably because none were found at Winchester. Bows with a pair of internal projections are confined to the post-medieval period. Later post-medieval keys often had the bow shaped internally to a slight figure-of-eight form, as if they were intended for use with two fingers.
