Confiscated Lock Picks from Penitentiary - Framed - Ebay Ad
Check out these confiscated lock picking tools from a State Penitentiary and mounted in a framed display. The ad indicates they are most likely from the Texas State Penitentiary.
Perhaps some of you more experienced guys could tell me more about the various tools?
The left side ones seem to be for use on Folger Adam-type lever locks whereas the smaller wire ones appear to be for use on pin tumbler locks. One of those wire ones looks similar to a two-peak bogota - cool! What about the big one in the middle? Tension tool?

Pricey item though if you are wanting to buy it.
Happy lock hunting,
