Kansas U Engineering pendant....age? value?

[mope540]

I would like to know the approximate value and age of this KU Engineering Council pendant. It measures 3/4" x 1/2". It was found in a box of costume jewelry, and while the jewelry had slight corrosion due to the humid climate, this pendant had none. That makes me dream that it could be gold...but i can't hold my breath on that one.

Thanks for any info!!

Just as a wild guess, seeing there,s no markings indicating gold content,I.d say it,s copper,at least that,s what the back looks like. It,s sure cool though. Hope I,m wrong!

No idea on age or value, but it looks like a pocket watch key to me. It should have a hole in the end of the spindle (usually square or triangular)

Thanks. The end is solid. No machining of any kind..
More google searching shows it to be similar to a fraternity key, but i can't find anything associated with KU

Hi - From the shape of the Jayhawk, it looks to be from 1923-1928. Hope this helps.
