    Looks like a logo, maybe TGC, or something similar?

    GTC could be General Time Corporation, parent company of Seth Thomas. It does look just like some Seth Thomas keys.
    I agree though, the logo does look like some kind of cycle.

    In my workshop I have about 50 square keys which I don't know for what they are made, the mark on yours can help if we know the country of origin, do you have found it in a french or english speaking country?
    Is can be made for a mechanic toy?
    It seems to be more a rewinding key that a purge or other worksop use in my opinion.
