Vintage Irish Key ID?

IrishPackard

Hi all,

Sorry I think I posted this in the wrong section first time.

I am trying to obtain information about and date a key in my possession.

I am living in Ireland and the key has been in my family for many generations.

It appears to be made of iron, about 6in long by 2 1/2in wide.

The ring on the key seems to be made by overlapping 2 ends and hammering them together.

Any information you could pass on to me would be most welcome to help solve the mystery of this key.

I have attached an image of the key for your information.

Yours truly,

Pat Feeney.

Galway,
Rep. of Ireland.

Nice looking key Pat. I would say that its a very early one off key made by a local blacksmith. Im from Dublin and have collected keys and locks for a number of years and have seen plenty of keys like this one for sale on e-bay.
