    Default A key for a kitchen cupboard

    Hi Hope14,

    This is a key to a furniture lock, e.g. for a cupboard. They were often marked with the furniture manufacturer logo, in this case apparently a kitchen furniture manufacturer.

    Have a look at these glass pieces, they go into a kitchen cupboard and are marked with the same logo:

    I don't think this key is very old. Maybe 50 years at most. I would place it at the 1960-70s.
