Weekly Photo Challenge … object

I didn’t have to look far for an object; I collect them.Mostly of the useful kind; believe me I will use the egg-timer when I next boil an egg! Sometimes however, it usefulness is over looked if it appears particularly pleasing.  This object comes into that category.  Although it is a fully functioning lock with its required keys; it is far too lovely to be exposed to the harsh elements of being a security guard.

I suppose this leads me to number two reason why I collect random objects.This one looked so uncared for on the back shelf of a dusty shop … thats what I do give a home to sda and lonely objects.
