Description: | Large S shaped bit, Very large 17th century key.
Bow is heart shaped and slightly out of alighnment with the rest of the key. The ferrule is simple. The top of the shank is decorated with vase shaped ornamentation. The shank itself broadens to the pin. Along the side of the shank there can be seen a join mark where the metal has been rolled from sheet metal. There is no discernable collar. The pin is pipe ended. The bit, welded to the key, is in the form of a large S with a cleft cut out in the upper and lower sides. There is some slight damage to the bit, perhaps through wear. The whole is slightly corroded.,
