Are there collectors displaying safe and vault locks, or is it just padlocks and keys?

peerless

I don’t recall there being many there before, but because it’s still a relatively young show, it seems to get better and better every year. Who knows what might show up?

David Hovey

I’m going to try and make time to attend.

Thank you,
DH

Yes, that would be a good place to sell your lock. Do you have an asking price in mind? One that you would care to discuss with me..or are you going to try to get offers…?

BTW, is anyone else on this forum going to the show?…………….Donnie

I went. It was my first visit and it was excellent. Mostly focused on padlocks but a good smattering of other things as well. There was a display of Roman keys, 1st - 4th century, lots of RR stuff, old key machines, a few safe locks. One guy did amazing, artistic cutaway work … removing all but the decorative logo from the front face of large vintage padlocks. Definitely going again next year.

Did anyone take photos of the show that they would like to post ?

I sure wish I’d taken more and better pictures, but I really wish I’d done a better job of getting everyone’s names so I could properly caption these.

This guy did amazing work. I’m pretty sure his name was Bill. I think 2 out of every 3 people I met there was named Bill. Sorry, Bill, I’m terrible with names. Anyway, he cut away most of the front face of large, old padlocks and left the big, decorative logos with levers & springs peeking out behind. Simply beautiful.

Pete Schaefer was one name I did get. Pete is great guy with an amazing collection of padlocks with decorative embossed logos. This was my favorite table at the show.

I hope we can find out and get a better picture of the item in the center of the display because that is a padlock and not a key. I’ve never seen one with a cover like that one.

The owner of the Roman key collection is Dr. Ronald Deitch. I have been given his contact info. I’d rather not post it in an open forum so if you want to get in touch with him, message me and I will give it to you.

CORRECTION: The Roman keys in my pictures were from the collection of Steve Sommers. Dr. Deitch had a different, smaller display. Phone number available upon request.
