✅ SOLVED Key Type Thing Found in a Barn

[Lafitte Deux]

I found this item in a barn. About 1/4" down in straw and dirt.
Didn't see any gas valves, so I'm stumped.

Looks like this is a Gas Valve key tool.. Seen quite a few of them but none of this design, it is got the same make as a valve key tool though!

Is it for an acetylene torch?

I always thought the triangular prism type wrenches/tools were for water valves.

I think you are correct.

Thanks y'all.
I'm glad it's not just me. I'll do some research on the triangle type.
Edit: Yep, I think that's what it is.

another possibility is that it's a key for a RACO signal lock from the railroad. They were screwed open unlike regular key locks and had a triangular key similar to yours.....


there were several different variations on the key, a search will turn up a few, maybe one similar to yours.....
