One brand, five color examples
The collection groups five Kwikset Locksets advertising or promotional chips in blue, brown, red, grey, and purple. The shared branding connects the pieces. Their color differences are observable features, not evidence that each color had a different cash value.
How to compare a set
Look for what remains constant across the photographs: wording, design placement, and the relationship between the branded center and the surrounding chip. Then compare the colors. This separates the shared promotional identity from variations within the group.
A group is not a production census
Five examples in this collection do not prove that only five colors were made or that the group is complete. The occasion, date, quantity, and maker remain unconfirmed in the current record.
Evidence: the collection photographs shown here and the existing object description. Unconfirmed identifications are kept separate from visible markings.
What this record means
This object lesson is not an appraisal or authentication. Details are limited to what is observable or supported by the current research status.
