Taken by the Elves and unwilling to confess the true reason for his trespass to King Thranduil, Thorin Oakenshield, and his Dwarf companions are thrown in the Elvenking's dungeons to rot. A hundred years is nothing in the life of an Elf, while to the Dwarves just a few days' delay might cost them their quest.
How will they escape?
The Mirkwood Gaol Key was designed by John Howe and created for the film by the artists at the 3Foot7 Art Department in Wellington, New Zealand.
This prop replica has been cast from moulds of the original prop. It is cast in metal (Zinc Alloy) and comes on a stand made of polyurethane.
This is clearly a key of significance, firmly backed up by its heft and the attention to detail.
Our authentic prop replicas and collectibles are designed by the very same artists who have worked on the three films, so effectively they come straight from Middle-earth.

The Mirkwood Gaol Key is an open edition piece.
Please note: This piece was designed and prototyped here in the Workshop. Images are of pre-production prototype. Each prop is painted by hand and slight variations will occur.
Weta Workshop’s authentic prop replicas are designed by the very same artists and technicians who work on our movies, using the same techniques and materials. We treat our prop replicas with the same level of care, quality and attention to detail that we bring to our film work.

DID YOU KNOW?
Watch out for counterfeit products.  Some significant vendors sell counterfeit goods. Also, they sell SECONDS, also known as Unbranded goods. Seconds are items rejected as inferior by a Companies Quality Control.  These Companies do not Brand product rejections.
Vendor sell their products cheaper than anyone else because they buy for pennies on the dollars from counterfeit and Seconds salespersons.
The fraudulent behavior occurs when sellers sell these products as NEW, but do not add, that their goods are counterfeit or Seconds.  Often, they will use the Companies name in their advertisement and allege their products are backed by the Companies name which in fact they are not.  Some of these sellers claim to be certified dealers for the Company.
I sell only authentic products purchased from reputable dealers.  I do not buy from a back door salesman.
I must compete with sellers of Counterfeit, and Seconds goods. That is why I am exposing these practices. I cannot sell at their lower prices. Sellers of authentic product buy for higher rates.
You want more excellent quality; you must pay more for your products. Authentic products look better because of the higher quality materials used in their production.  They are likely to last longer for the same reason.
When you see sellers with the same generic picture as their peers, (There are no absolutes: not all sellers who show stock photos sell counterfeit or seconds goods.), selling as new, they probably are selling counterfeit products or Seconds.
And, if those sellers' prices are nearly the same, most likely they are selling counterfeit goods.  Also, if product prices are too good to be true, they might be counterfeit or seconds goods.
Counterfeiters' provide the pictures to be advertised and set the selling prices. Buyers must stay within the counterfeiters' guidelines if they want to do business in the future. Their counterfeit buyers are not allowed to profit more than the counterfeiters on the products they sell.
I am proud to sell authentic products at my eBay store. They always make happier customers.
