It does looks like an old clock key to me.

Could it possibly be a gas valve key? Looks a bit large for a clock key...

Best,

Agree. Looks like the ones made in the 1800s.

This one is close , its being called a clock key.
Measurements of the hole might tell , here is a link that has a size chart for clock keys
I have not found gas key sizes yet.
but I'm guessing its a clock key.

I'm not saying it is or isn't but they are also used for water valves.

A photo of the hole shape and size might be helpful. It looks rather hefty !

There were so many things these were used for its hard to tell. Clock keys, piano tuning keys, gas valves, water valves, radiators.

A clock key or I'm thinking more on the lines of an old radiator key to open the valve
