Description: | A complete but broken into two fragments, late Medieval-Victorian, wrought/forged, rusty iron chest or door key. A medium size, very rusty, relatively plain key with circular bow handle, shank with possible collar and rectangular bit. The heavy encrusted corrosion masks any fine detail but the bit could possibly consist of a nose and two bullets. Badly rusted, irregular encrusted surface but also corroded and broken right through just below the handle. This key could date between 1400-1899. Ref. Keys - Their History & Collection, Eric Monk, Shire Publications 1979, page 13-26 and Detector Finds 3, Gordon Bailey, Greenlight Publishing 1997, page 4-9 no. 47 & 48. The key is 104.91mm long, 32.1mm wide, 14.18mm thick and weighs 56.1g.
