    Woah, hang on a second. There's a large difference between Richard and Harvey Avedon. Richard was a photographer. Harvey was a jeweler and goldsmith. Harvey made a number of 'keys' in the '60's/'70's. They were really just key heads with inerts for the tumbler blanks. These were created for many different luxury type vehicles of the era, merc., rolls, porsche, etc.

    And just when I was enjoying being a naive New Zealander living under the peaceful blue dome in the south pacific.
    Thanks Mark Z for now finally resolving this.
    Mark,
