I know there are collectors out there....

I have a John Grey key exactly like this one :

Is it worth anything, or is it just another old drum key that's not worth a feck?

I don't have it. I have two later Prem's, for the slotted type screws, that's all.
Thank you! ;-)

Hi, I have many keys but not all...
There are some I long for them, but maybe in the future.
Now see some of my plates (not all):

I would imagine that a Billy Gladstone "triple" key would be about the most valuable.

I sold an ASBA key for £42

Rogers keys years ago made very good money. As said above a bit daft for a small tool but i suppose the market decides what they are worth.

I've seen Trixon keys go for over $150 and standard everyday Premier slot keys often go for £30 each. I don't understand it. Sure for an instrument but not for an adjusting tool, just seems daft to me

Well, I'd give 50 quid for a Premier 1930s drum key

here's a question...what was the worlds most expensive drum key?
capt.wierd Posted - 24/06/2012 : 20:25:11


I have a John Grey in the collection, not worth alot, coupla quid when I've seen them on Ebay, very stylish design

Ol' Ralf bagged this old 1930s Premier on another forum, first one I've ever seen
