M & W Co Folding Key (uncut)
I worked in an old hardware store back in 70's/80's and found this in a scrap bin full of old keys. I never put the pieces together until looking up online that this key has never been cut - curious to hear from antique key collectors regarding age. It does not have a patent mark like I have see on others so thinking it might be later in the years (newer). Also, what was this key for? Prison? Seems heavy for personal use
