My dad worked on the north tower, and he has, to this day, a key to the entrance of the World Trade Center. I am curious

That and the possibility of a price reduction if there are no bites.

I don't think there is a good way to authenticate it so it's value depends on your ability to sell it.

One thing to note is that the new building is called ONE WORLD TRADE CENTER and the complex is still called WORLD TRADE CENTER so without the story its hard to date it to a random person.

I see a few comments from folks who's relatives obtained these from working in the WTC. What you want to get now is provenance. Right now it may be simple, find a paystub of your relatives, have them write their story of how the remember using it, and how it was working there, even having a close relative write about their thoughts that day. The piece is unique and really one of just a few, but what makes every item special, one of a kind, and yes, much more valuable, is the story of the people who used it.

I sell on Ebay. First of all, Nazi propaganda is something I would never consider selling. As far as disaster relics, I have come into a few, and in some cases the prices people paid were astronomical. A few pieces were brought by museums and some by collectors. The important part is knowing the history of these items.

I would recommend against that.

I appreciate the response but, as I said in the post, my dad died years ago and Im not interested in actually selling it, just curious if this has any value beyond sentimental.
