Anyone know where to get these, going to use commercially so free is probably out.

Sorry, can't help, but curious. afaik, "Skeleton Key" was simply an old-school euphemism for a type of master-key. Do they have some particular appearance that would be recognizable in a model?

Most free stuff is OK to use in renders, even commercial renders, certainly all of my stuff is - and no I don't have a key model but if you show me a pic of one I could maybe take a whack at it.

Something like this

... answering my own question:

A search of Google images indicates that folks also commonly refer to any of the antique, often ornate, but simple-toothed keys as "skeleton keys".

Would be great if I could get something like this or even different types.
Thanks

Well you know exactly what you're looking for and Google doesn't, so that's why I asked :) I'll try to do something with this tomorrow during the day.

There is a small key of this type suitable for jewelry boxes, cabinets, cases etc. in my pistol set in the freestuff.

If you want it but don't want to DL the whole set Site mail me your e-mail address and I'll send just the key to you.
