Antique Key and Lock Shows

King Louis XXX

Does anyone know of a listing of “locksmith” shows that would include a large selection of antique keys for sale? I have heard of such shows but I have been unable to find any information on the Internet. Thanks kindly in advance.

I know that there was one up at the Lock Museum of America every Oct.

The Lock Museum of America
This listing is a few years old but I would think that if you were to contact them they can tell you if it is still going to be held.

As for “Locksmith” shows there are always keys to be had but nothing in the antique section to speak of. I just network with other locksmiths if I have looking for a OEM keyblank or old key blank.

I think you would be more interested in collector shows. There would typically be locksmiths at such shows, but they aren’t considered locksmith shows. I know of four such shows in the US.

Terryville - Oct
Indy - April
WCLCA - Feb
ALCA - sorry don’t know date

I’m sure someone else will post detailed dates.
