I just bought a key on eBay. Easy peasy.

I bought a preloved with wrong key to lock. I fortunately found one to buy. The LV Speedy 30 is 40 years old!

Hi. I will post pics after I restore it! It is pretty good shape except the leather handles and the inside fabric that holds the piping in. I may have to send it in to LV to get that fabric replaced.

I wrote in the speedy club last year that I saw this very old lady (maybe in her 80s) carrying her very old speedy at a restaurant and I was in awe. It was so dark, the leather and canvas were both very dark brown, like one color, but it was still beautiful. I love a bag with history.

Not necessarily. You can buy a #309 key on ebay for about $25. Or once they unlock the bag at the store, just buy a brand new lock and key. Not sure how much they cost, it might also be cheaper to buy a new lock and key off eBay.

Ya know, in all the years I've owned an LV with a lock I've never taken it off after putting it on the first time.

Haha I do the same. Never any use for the lock. I just leave it on my bags for show lol.
