The skeleton key has stood for 'the key to success,' the key to the city and club membership for generations, and small key pins like this one were worn on lapels, ties and hats. This gold-tone skeleton key has an oval bow, a collared shank and a notched bit, mounted on a short tie-tack pin.

Details

It is fastened with a round Ballou butterfly clutch back that has a beaded rim.
It would look good on a blazer lapel or a tie, or tucked into a pin collection or a key-themed display.

Condition: Minor plating wear and some tarnish on the clutch back; the key body looks intact and complete. See photos.

The photos are part of the description, and it will be packed with care.
