Author	Topic: Ed Mitchell's key to Oklahoma City?
Buel Member Posts: 649 From: UK Registered: Mar 2012	posted 12-29-2019 05:52 PM I managed to obtain a small golden key on a ribbon and a certificate of authenticity that the key was found in Ed Mitchell's belongings from the estate sale a few years ago. It does not state that it was presented to Ed in any official way and I can't find any reference to it on Google. Any ideas how I can substantiate this, please?

Or you could try contacting the Mayor's office, which would have been responsible for awarding the key.

I have Scott Carpenter's Key to Orlando (the city I live in) but most of the ones I have seen sell run in the $100 to $300 range and most (not all) are engraved with the recipients name and the presentation date.
