    I actually DO -- but just thought it might be fun to find out who else around here might know, and/or what y'all might otherwise guess. ;-) :-) I've played the same 'game' with many other visitors to my home since I've had this thing, and it seems to always prove amusing... <lol>

    Made of solid metal thus rather heavy for its size, I don't know its *exact* specifics (make/model/etc) but will add that it was a gift to me from a high-school buddy, who likely swiped/stole it from his Dad, who was then employed in a "major transportation industry". It is pictured here next to a common house key, for scale.

    And that's usually more than enough clues to generate some interesting guesses...?? ;-) ;-) ;-)

    [shown/posted without any specific category, since doing so would be a dead giveaway thus losing any potential fun...?]

      Reverser Handle for a Locomotive. Also called a Train Key, by some.
