Re: FORD & Key Experts...
Yep - the key blanks were made by Briggs and Stratton, for making Ford keys. (they made others, too, of course, not all for Ford, and not all were brass.).

Re: FORD & Key Experts...
Many of the ones that are cut can be recut depending on the needs of the current lock. A good clear pic on an auction will help it sell. Many locksmiths buy these for collectors, some can actually fix the lock to match the key.

Re: FORD & Key Experts...
Definitely 1950-1952 era Ford key.
I owned one with a key like that (but very worn), several...... Heck, a long time ago! LOL!!

Re: FORD & Key Experts...
Here is some further info on your key. Sorry, but you marked it as solved before I could reply. This is an 1127 series key and was used by Ford from 1952 up through 1966. The 1125 series was used from 1940-1951.The series ran 1127, 1127D (primary), 1127DP, 1127ES (Secondary), 1127TB (Thunderbird 1965-1970), 1127FR (Fairlane 1962-1966), 1127FL (Falcon 1959-1966), 1127MU (Mustang 1965-1966). Your key could also be an 1127K. I can not see the profile good enough to see what the difference could be. Without further info, the exact date may be difficult to pin down but it will fall between 1952-1966. Hope I have been of further help to you. HH
