Sorry to sidestep your thread again, but I just don't understand why some LV owners lose their keys and sell their used Speedy with the lock 'stuck' on a bag. Those are the bags I feel reluctant to purchase--I would feel bad smashing this worthy old lock off the bag to use it.
I have seen young kids on the street carrying their Speedys with the lock and
both sets of keys hanging off the lock--one good yank or enough jumping up and down and the set of keys just fall right off. Now their locks are 'stuck' on there too...and eventually there will be no replacement keys made to unlock their bags either. Really stupid to deliberately have the keys hang so carelessly off the lock on such an expensive bag!
I guess they have more dollars than sense.
For me, I keep the keys stored in a safe place because I do use them to secure the bag if I put my bag away in my workplace. In fact, I ask the SA for the same lock # so the keys from my other locks can work on this one.
It is a shame because some of these older vintage locks are so coveted.
You just don't see them anymore and it has an historical aspect to it. Hearing the 'click' from a 40-year old LV lock gives me the shivers--like unlocking a time capsule.
Unfortunately, I don't have a key for the #300 because I just started buying my LVs last year.
Good luck and I hope you find a key to free the lock from your Toledo Blue Epi Carryall.
