Well, I'm not at all sure but that item could have come apart from a keyring.But I like that real old key.

Card player "marker" ?

Put on your cards to show dealer your cards are live, so they don't muck them.A chip or marker shows dealer they are live. Or could have been part to keychain either guess would work and the hole could have been for chain or just part of the manufacturing process.

The skeleton key read pretty close to a modern nickel reading but seemed bigger on the signal size.

While the keychain part sounds good, I am kind of leaning towards the marker / game piece explanation simply because it is so heavy and thick, you wouldn't want a key-chain to be heavy right ?

the reason I say keychain is because I've seen souvenir ones from Vegas that the fob part is a metal loop with a heavy center that spins being mounted on one or two posts. usually the center part is made like the famous 'welcome to fabulous las vegas' sign, but I've seen others as well. Anyway, I'm not real certain what you have since I'm only seeing a photo.
