FOR SALE: VTLA Wreath Key - $80

Post by Oceangoer1 »

Shipping is included in that price. After cleaning this key (it was filthy!), I am left with a copper color. I do not think this key was ever gold plated, or all the gold plating was gone before I got it. I have heard that there were gold and bronze versions of this key, and I'm thinking it was a bronze one. The one tooth will need to be straightened.

Maybe if YOU straighten the tooth, you would have better luck selling it. If I buy it and straighten it and it breaks off, I'm screwed...

Key tooth has been carefully straightened. I only bent it enough to allow it to work, there is still a slight bend in the part that has the teeth coming off the barrel, which I would imagine would not affect its use. Cannot guarantee against breakage, so the new owner might want to stabilize that area BEFORE USE with something like JB Weld.
