    This key measures 4.5" long, 2.75" tall, and weighs nearly a quarter pound. I have seen skyline keys which are associated with the World's Fair in 1933, and all these keys are clearly marked 1933 World's Fair, Century of Progress, etc. I don't think this is one of those keys, the decoration is much more elaborate. I can date for 1929-1934 due to Medinah Athletic Club in the decoration. Could this be a "key to the city" award? Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Joe
