Description
Key with oval bow, sub-cylindrical pipe shank, and single bit cut with key wards to front and rear edges to form an 'S'-shape. The key is unusual in that the bow is turned 90 degrees relative to the bit, as opposed to the far more common in-line setting. The object is somewhat corroded, and the shank slightly bent.
