Odd and ends

Hey guys and gals, I found these and I'm not sure what the key was for. The Marta bus token was 5 inches in the ground and VDI 55-56.

Yep looks like a water valve key

 

[JimGilmore]

Wow that small ??? I'd have thought maybe clock. but its the size of a penny....

 

[Ken in Georgia]

if it is a water valve key then how old ?

 

[Boydman]

What about a gas key for old style gas lights. Just a guess, seems small for a water key

 

[Kevin B.]

Some neat finds, Ken.

I do believe that is a roller skate key. They were getting long in the tooth when I was a kid but they were still around in the 60's. Don't tell me I am the only one that remembers the old skates that attached to your shoes and you tightened them up with a key to the front of your shoe sole. Melanie did a song about it in the 70's called Brand New Key - "I got a brand new pair of roller skates, you got a brand new key. I think we should get together and try them on to see....." Dag you make me feel old! I turn 50 in August and last I heard, 50 is the brand new 30. I guess not here!
