Description: | Copper alloy Key. Cast key with hollow end to its stem, a simple rectangular bit with one projecting ward below it, and an oval section stem with four incised bands next to its oval loop. The decoration of the stem is nearly worn away on one side, suggesting this saw recurrent use. It might be for a casket or other domestic use; this reporter recalls lidded sewing machine cases which could be locked with similar keys before being moved. Suggested date: Post-Medieval to Modern, 1850-1950.Length: 32.3mm, Height (bow): 14.1mm, Thickness (stem): 4.0mm, Weight: 2.90gms.
