My old eyes can't make out the word - is it "Chicago"? If so, people from there may recognize the scene depicted. Neat key in any case! Andi

Interesting find. Under the airplane I think I see STANDARD OIL. Correct? Does it say anything else?

 

[jefatk]

yeah, it says Chicago. It has 3 skyscrapers and and airplane on it. I think its just a souviner from Chicago. Oh well, it was the only thing I found all day today that was worth keeping. Thanks for looking.

Chicago...eh? Maybe the "family" got a locker at the airport, clean it good and find the right number maybe you can find Hoffa.

I left my keys there when I "escaped" the Chicagoland area 40+ yrs ago. AHhh !

Key to Hoffa's hiding spot ?

 

[jewelerguy]

my guess is that it was a souvenir key blank, and appears to have been cut as a house key. looks functional, but next to the quarter it also looks too big. I mean that thing looks huge

yes its a skyline of the 3 tallest buildings in Chicago, Standard Oil building, John Hancock, and Sears Tower....
