These keys range in size from small (1 inch) to extra large (3 inches).

All the keys are attached to cotton fabric, which is set in a twisted braid,

Length of braids for all skeleton key necklaces are approximately between 25 and 30 inches. Age of keys is unknown, but an approximate age would date their production to early 1900s.
