Perhaps, but I have little control of how many last 3 second bidders there will be. It's a risky game.

Each decode is different due to masterkeying. This key was made on my drillpress from solid steel stock and only works in the clockwise direction. You can learn similar key making techiniques in my book.
Lauren wrote:This was not the exact 10 lever lock in my listing. The lock shown above is iron clad, and the one I sold was brass with an aluminum bronze key. These are rather interesting locks, and they can easily be identified by the unique raised stamping in the the back of the lock case. It take different keys to open these locks in one particular direction. I have two original keys in my almost-gone collection.
