Posted 13 years ago

I bought this with some other items. I have no idea what it is or used for. It looks like its made of cast iron but i am not sure. Would appreciate any information.

Looks like an antique jail key, to me.

I thought it might be to an old car's crank key , it is 6' long. W/ a DF on it

this key is to unlock the water meter cover so yourwater meter can be read or to turn off the water to your house.
