    I can tell you that the logo is of Winner International Inc., maker of The Original Club and similar locking devices, see link. I can't however identify that specific key.

    Pete,

    Thanks for IDing the manufacturer of the key, maybe we can determine what it would be for by contacting them.

    It is for a Club lock. They had a history of failing in this key type. I had to destroy two of them back in the 1990s.

    Really?!! I have one of these clubs. Should I be concerned? What kind of failures have been associated with this key type?

    They might have improved the design since the early to mid 1990s. The two I had broken drivers behind the cylinder. So not a real problem if you know what your doing.
