I've travelled all over the world and most pacific western countries have keys like these. Pretty standard in malaysia, taiwan, etc.especially for cars.

You can find old/antique looking keys if you search for "key pendant."

The ones in the picture actually isn't so old though, not as old as the ones seen in the movie.

$10? Sounds like a deal.
I'll get the PayPal payment over to you in the middle of next week.

Awww heck. Put me down for one, too.

Out of curiosity, I'd love to get some of those keys. I tried to see if there were any available on eBay, but I guess I didn't look for them with the right terms. Any suggestions or links that can be provided would be appreciated. Smile

Try "vintage keys" on the bay. There are some sellers selling TONS of old keys.

And the special looking key in the picture is newer model with spring.

I also found a key-shaped bottle opener which only cost a couple bucks.

Thanks for that! While the vintage key looks great, I guess I wasn't specific about which key I was referring to. I really like the one that points to the left in the picture (the one above the chip), as it's more futuristic/techno looking. Smile

I think the one above that looks like it's shaped like a tube with dots/indentations along the side. Am I right?

Yeah, that's a more advanced security key around here. It's from Golden King, called a telescopic key. I tried ebay and there's nothing like it there.

It costs too, as much as the key ring itself. Laughing

Telescopic keys...got it! I did find one auction on eBay that has a lock and 3 of the keys. A bit pricey at ~$70+ ~$30 shipping...but if you want a working lock that the keys fit into on your Flynn's key ring...this may be for you!

Yeah, that's the one. It's an advanced lock so more expensive, replacement keys cost about $10 each I think.

The keys from catherwood's link look quite good, one of them look very close to screencap.

I'm assuming that the telescopic key in the photo is yours, kevin. Any chance you can get another? Smile
