Description: | large iron key with warded bit., Very large and heavy key, ca. 15th - 17th century
The bow is kidney shaped and attached to the shank by a ferrule which protrudes slightly into the bow forming a point. The shank is very long, solid and cylindrical. There is no discernable collar. The pin is long and tapers towards the end but is ultimately flat ended. The nose is cut with two clefts, one to the upper side and one to the lower. The bit follows a similar design but is much larger. Some slight damage through wear is detected on the shank., "Bought in Newark (Colland dealer) abt 1910"
