Packard "Try Out" Keys

As a follow on to my first post about locks, I am a huge car enthusiast and have been for many years. I have also recently gotten into locks and key making - a longtime interest of mine.

Just a thought as I've been helping my Packard collector buddy ... could a 250 try out set ever be valuable in this community? Basically every key Packard made with the correct codes identifying them?

I ask because some of the old pot metal in these locks is delicate. Try out keys are a completely non invasive way to identify a lost key. If there was interest, I could and would produce them if we can find a fair price. I suppose we would also have to find a way to assure they arrive at a safe and HONEST home.

Thoughts?
