    Default Mallory Wheeler & Co Folding Key

    I have an antique folding skeleton key from M.W. & Co (Mallory Wheeler)that appears to be a key blank (uncut). Judging by it's size, I am wondering if this is a prison/jail key. Does anyone recognize the type of lock this might have been used on? Also I am guessing this is 1800's but the company was in business until 1916 or so
