    Question Key Identification Help

    I acquired this key from an older gentleman in my area, he knows I like anything different or unusual. I can't find anything like it after a lot of searching...maybe I'm just searching incorrectly. All and any help would be sincerely appreciated. Probably something common, but it seems it was possibly an important key? Thank you in advance!

    That is a Jail key. The large head of the key afforded a place to firmly grasp it while turning the large lock that it operated.

    Cool find!
