Need help on age of skeleton key

[AP552]

I found this key near an old house site in southeast MA. Key was found about 8-10 inches down. I'm trying to determine how old the key is. Any help is appreciated.View attachment 1156507

Is this the same one in your other thread? If so then it looks to be from the second half of the 1800's, as far as I know most of the very early ones are solid not hollow.

If it is the same one as your other thread I suggest asking a mod to combine both thread to make it less confusing.

Awesome key!

Looks to be a key that goes to the heart shaped locks that we all have found from time to time,vanzutphen

Thanks! I messed up when I was uploading the pics, sorry for any confusion. I sent a message off asking for them to be merged if possible.
