Description: | Pronounced C-shaped bit., Ornate key, ca. 18th century.
The wire bow is elliptical in shape and is attached to the shank by a simple ferrule. The shank itself is ballistered and ends with a wide collar at the base of a vase shape. The throating is short. The pin is long and extends beyond the bit, ending with a flattened ball shape. The bit made up of three separate C-shaped bits joined to the pin to make a warded elliptical aperture to fit a lock. The whole is slightly corroded.,
