I know there are collectors out there....
I have a John Grey key exactly like this one :
http://www.drumkeys.eu/drumkey.asp?id=396
Is it worth anything, or is it just another old drum key that's not worth a feck?

One sold on Ebay a couple of weeks ago for £19 + postage (BIN) if that's any help.

| I'm sure I've seen old keys go for a lot more than £19. I think I saw one on ebay that went for £50. Or was it an optimistic £50 BIN that people just laughed at? Can't remember. |

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

| 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 |

| 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. |
Resonators and Ufips....just beautiful. www.vintageolympic.co.uk
Rotocasting is definitely the pinnacle of cymbal manufacture!

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

Capt'n: would ya, please, stop telling the WHOLE world that I own that 20s/ 30s Prem drum key ... ?!
I don't have it. I have two later Prem's, for the slotted type screws, that's all.
Thank you! ;-)
