Brey I’ve never seen a key quite like this; found it at an antique shop. What was this key used for? About when was it made and where might it originate from?
Billy B Edwards Jr. CML That key was most likely for a warded rim lock. It could have been a deadbolt but was probably a nightlatch as they were more popular. The construction seems odd today because there was a tube on the lock that went through the door and presented as an escutcheon on the opposite side. BBE.
Pschiffe Billy is correct, late 19th to early 20th century warded rim night latch or rim deadlock. Image of Graham No. 94 attached is typical but they were likely made by many other manufacturers during that era. The Graham Mfg. Co. of Derby, CT was in business from 1900-1949. Pete Schifferli
