Description (Physical description)
Small key with circular bow, cylindrical pipe shank, and long though narrow single bit with a central linear perforation and a spur projecting from the bottom-rear corner on one side. It would appear that a matching spur once projected from the other bottom corner, but has since been broken off and lost.
