Could it key?

I thought it was iron garbage until I looked closer and saw it was two piece stuck together. I’m no key expert but I’ve found my fair share lately and none have been this rusty. The bigger one looks like it has some fancy to it. Are they like bike lock keys? Are they old or just more iron in them compared to most keys?

Thinking of soaking them in apple cider vinegar and seeing what happens.

In my opinion- I don't see a key , What I see is a spade tip to a drain cleaner

So I let them soak for about a week (probably too long) and look to be keys. The bigger one had some sort of copper looking finish on it.

I no longer think it's a drain snake head. I agree on keys now that they are cleaned. vending machine keys to be more exact.

Looks like a Chicago brand.

Wow amazing. Thank you! Looks like a mix of the Chicago co and the bottom right one (can’t make out the name). Any ideas on the age?

I also wonder what that other key went to
