Got to charge more for this in depth information! (just kidding) As a reminder I am not trying to auction this skeleton key for its history. I would bet all old ones have some kind of interesting history, based on the fact it is history!
This key came to me from a friend who works in a scrap yard(recycling center) The old parts of the mental hospital that were built in the mid 1800's was torn down a few years back, and these keys were found in desk from there. The mental hospital is called Dorothea Dix. It was a state ran mental hospital.

The back story makes it, never deprive an artifact of its history if you yourself believe it to be true. Very cool, I saw you've sold one before, do you have any more? Other items from the Dorothea Dix Hospital?
