    I found this key in my Father's belongings after he died. I have no idea what kind of key it is! Maybe an old cash register, bank safe deposit box. I have never seen a key shaped like this before. It is marked SN 306 and is one 5/8 inches long. Color is brass. It is an interesting find for sure. I just wish I knew what it used to be used for.

      Did you ever find answer to your question. I have 2 identical keys for the exact same reason. Different letters and numbers, but otherwise the same. Im very curious to what theu belong.

      My father just passed, and I've found one in an old wallet. Kellygirrl, any luck? I don't imagine we'll get a response from the OP. May I ask what part of the country you're in? I'm IL. Maybe it's regional? A bank box?
