Interesting, doesn’t look like the key to a safe. Maybe, a room or key to a home.

If you can find a strong box that goes with it give a shout out 😂

Possibly an antique double bit padlock key...here's a pic of one.

Yeah it looks like a skeleton key but the business end is weird… I haven’t seen one like it before.

"double sided" skeleton key... may even be a "blank" version.

I’m thinking it’s a fire alarm box reset key or police call box key.

After spending a lot of time searching call box keys last night i have to admit, my guess was totally off base.

Antique sardine can opener?

Old Dresser? or trunk .?. just guess.

Antique sardine can opener?

Like the idea of it being a tool for something rather than a key to open a door, and I like sardines but thinking lantern adjuster or gaslight tool... but a wild stab at that

Antique sardine can opener?

Not a sardine can key. It has to have a slot in it to hook the end of the lid to roll it up on. I ate too many sardines out of those old cans!

Being small it looks like a key to and old wind up mantel clock, not having to turn with much force to do the job? Just the clock hands to the right time!

 

[Squirrel322]

My friends guessed that too. However, I haven’t seen a clock winding key that looks like this key.

double bit key that was used on clocks, jewelry boxes, bureau drawers, and some chest locks.
