How do you remove the keys off an old typewriter?

I have an old very heavy rusted typewriter, and I'd like to use the keys for some projects, and I have no idea how to remove them...hopefully there's an easy way. Anyone ever done this? Thanks!

    Could you provide some pictures? Some of the older typewriters had a "pin" under the key where it attached to the machine itself, but not enough info here to really make a call.
