1950's 11 inch picklocks

Post by orangeboy »

I thought I would take these out for a little photo shoot today. I'm not sure I have ever taken all my 11 inch 1950's picklocks in a group shot.
All of these have unsharpened blades except one which was extremely lightly sharpened. All have original handles.
Only one has ever been worked on. All are near mint to pristine mint (and I don't mean cleaned up to mint). :)

They are:

11" Latama, very early version with skinny finger guards
11" Coricama, with rare kriss blade
11" Edwin Jay, early model with octagon locktab
11" Omega Jewelry & Leather Novelty Co.
11" E. Miltenberg Inc.
11" Crown & Cross stamp, Italy
11" Romo kriss
11" Mauser with 3 Monkeys stamp

Enjoy!!

Amazing line-up Orangeboy!! My faves have got to be the Edwin J, the jumbo stamped Omega & the Romo kriss (for obvious reasons). You find the coolest stuff 8)
