The key as well as its associated key lock are good examples of how prisoners were restrained in Goldfield gaols.
The key is significant in that it still functions with its lock considering its age.
This functional key belongs to Object #1237
There are a number of engravings on the bow.
Scratches and dents are evident from use.
