OK, gotta be the coolest key I've found yet. At least I think it's a key. What do you think? Oh yeah, approximate age too! Thanks!

Re: Key date needed

i would bet that would go to a "clock" as it is very decrotive. i would say it is from the victorian period. nice find. "god bless"

4-H, here are some watch keys to give you an idea of the styles including your's which is Georgian. Your's (the crank type) is one of the oldest.

Some of your recent comments caused me to look up your age and I see you are 11. Welcome to TN. This has already been IDed as a clock winder for an old clock.

Re: Key date needed

Lmao Dale! For those who are curious what Georgian is (because some don't know) ~~~We take the periods from the rulers in the UK. So during the reign of the Georges, it was the Georgian period, next came Queen Victoria - the Victorian period. Now we are in the period of Elizabeth....
