Still looking but it does bear resemblance to a Victorian or French gate or shop key.

Well, best I could do image wise. The only reason I felt it was Victorian was when I was searching my skeleton keys and recall seeing similar to yours. Seems the problem with ID is that a lot were not marked so the history of the key is more or less lost. Sorry, all I got for you ATM.

I wonder if that's Otis' personal jail key from Mayberry? Nice find, Breezie

I have no clue but I DREAM of finding something like that.

Good job and good luck with the ID

Une très grande clé!

... if you saw that movie.

Large entry door key. Probably late 18th c. to early 19th c.

Jail key? Probably not.

Many of the old homes in my area, including my own, have similar keys for the large lock on the front door.

Worked in a jail for a while, and it ain't a jail key. They are cut from flat brass stock and much longer and heavier. Monty

Yep, Otis called from Mayberry, and he said even drunk he knew it wasn't his key. LOL Breezie
