✅ SOLVED Clock or Lantern/Gas Stove Key?

[cambria09]

Hello. Whadd'yall think? Found it a few days ago on a 1910 homesite. It is threaded, has no markings, is not magnetic, and was found near the penny in the pictures...never found a watch or clock key before but I am guessing it comes off of some kind of gas appliance.


Thanks for tuning in and I hope the finds are with you today.

It reminds me a lot of the folding alarm clock keys, similar to this one:

Could also be from a wind up music box.

It is hard to argue with that pic. Thanks for the ID creskol. I think I will mark this one solved. C9

I cast my vote for the clock key as well.
