    sounds reasonable, but how much is the real question.

    Yes, they have that, but they also know they can turn it in for $$$'s.

    People doing 'Steam punk' stuff will buy keys, the older the better. Anything else like that too.
    Old gauges, clocks, chain, glasses, makers plaques etc.

    Another good thing that many are interested in.

    KEYS of all sorts. Also locks, interesting door knobs and hardware.
