    Default Short Simple Brass Keys, Single Deep Groove Stamped Not Cut, Marked "D-R"?

    I'm thinking these must be to a utility box or electrical panel. They are short (~1"), with a single large groove stamped into the middle. I've seen them before but I just can't remember where. Anyone know what these fit?

    I believe they are old tractor ignition keys; Allis Chalmers, Case, Cockshutt, International, Minneapolis Moline, Oliver, White etc. D-R = Delco Remy.
