VTjeff You are welcome. It did make me a different person. Memories I hold on to today.

Hi Everyone, Joe b, Yup that's his business card. He's got a pretty good supply of them! If I'm not telling stories out of school, I think he's a recently retired Sergeant (Maybe Master?) for the Air Force. While we chatted about keys, and other lock services, we also chatted about his contributions to my country. I remember him saying he's familiar with his local VA treatment center. Joe b, I often wish I would have been a part of our armed forces. I think it would have made me a different person, probably better in some ways. I am thankful for your contributions!

VT\jeff. Now THAT is a business card ! Is that really what he hands out ? I have a similar set that I had on a chain in 1965,'66. The government gave them to me.

Here's the 'business card' from the guy I bought keys from in Iola.

If you have the lock, any good locksmith can cut the key.

Hi Everyone, I was happy with the service of Vintage Lock at the Iola swap meet. I had four keys made from my existing keychain, for my '36, and it cost $18. I thought it was a good deal. The keys are not original style Hurd's but they'll do for my second set, which is what I wanted them for.

Here is another possibility I should mention. During our time at the Iola car show/swap meet, a couple weeks ago, we stopped to talk to a locksmith who had a small trailer setup near one of the main gates. Some of our group had some keys cut while there talking to him. His prices seemed very reasonable to me. His business card was very unique. It was a modern looking military dog tag with his contact information stamped in place on the tag: Vintage Lock 144 Main Street, SO, Cambridge, MN email: vintagelocks.com Ph: 763-689-0877 John

I have used 32 Phil with very courteous and quality results. I gave him the code - he cut me the keys! When I tried using Jesser's they wouldn't answer repeated e-mails.

John, I have never used Jessers or any of the other locksmiths as I have a great locksmith locally. It is a family business that has been around for more than 60 years and has the old books. I only recommended them because they advertise in the V-8 Times. I respect your opinions and am glad that others have chimed in with recommendations based on their experience.

Leon Rowell cut some keys for me using the codes. Fast turn-around, very reasonable prices, courteous conversation. Very satisfied.
