Please Help Identify This Key

[djed]

I want to list this key for sale on eBay but would like some input on its manufacturer and type of key so I may properly describe it. My guess is Yale & Towne.

It does not look like Yale and Towne to me. It looks more like Toiletpaper and towels.

Looks like a key for a toilet paper and paper towel dispenser in a public restroom. Not sure of the brand.

ROTFLMAO

Another member told me the same thing privately. Seems (based on my opinion of its appearance) kind of old for that but I really don’t know how long people have been safeguarding their toilet tissue.

I wonder how that affects its resale value?

Thanks - I needed a good laugh.

Here are a few more for identification:

That first one in the new group of pics is a Bobricj.



The second looks like it may be a Boraxo, but not positive on that.

Looks Like an Antique Smart Key Kwikset Reset Tool. Does Look Like a Y and a T where punched out?

There would always have been some means to minimise theft or wastage of restroom materials.

Just like in countries that predominantly use bayonet cap light bulbs, some factories, institutions, etc used Edison screw bulbs to discourage people nicking bulbs.
