✅ SOLVED Help with odd brass key.

[vhs07]

Anyone seen one of these before? It's very thin and made of brass. Says ...UAMETER and NON MAGNETIC. All I could think of is Aquameter?
Back is plain. Found on a beach in Seadrift, Texas. Whatever it was made to adjust would have to turn smoothly, or else this would bend without much pressure. Thanks

I think it's a flat head screw driver you would keep on your key fob. But that is just a wild guess.

Looks like some kind of key ring screw driver. Something about a "meter" stamped on key. Possibly to be used to adjust some kind of meter
that requires non-metallic tool for proper adjustment?

plain old keychain screwdriver. Fun stuff

Aquameter compass key.

Agreed with Alabama

Aquameter compass key.

That makes sense.

Thanks AlabamaRelic, Looks like it was to calibrate a Aquameter compass from magnetic north to true north on a boat.
