man that Reddit is a mess..... you should do better here !

I can't find any information relating to your key...




poison rings , yes.... but ...???

@Bev aka thelmasstuff , might have an idea.

 

looks like the ring opens....... does it fire a ball..

 

I think you are correct.

 

Is the compartiment just the top bit? Or is it hollow all the way down?

 

It is hollow all the way down.

 

Could it simply be a novelty vesta case or toothpick holder?

 

Perhaps it contained a mini scroll with the Airbnb instructions and rules….

 

or poison......???

hard to find a double bit , or blade , model like this ... so I doubt that it's really a useable key.... but it did hold , something inside...

 

Agreed. I didn't think it was ever a usable key without a proper barrel.

 

I’ve oiled the ring, but can’t get it open.

 

It screws apart.

 

I thought it would...
whatever it was meant for.... it's not a key.

 

Just a guess its was used to conceal something stuck in the bottom part, using the little hole as a way to hold smth in place, think its missing a piece.
As to what it was and to why you would want to conceal it on your key chain i don't know. But someone went to a lot of trouble to create that concealed space.
Whatever it was it also needed that trap door on the key side. Is there smth left inside the bottom part ? Like a broken spring ?

Maybe you have a poisoned dart gun )

 

jailers key gun ...............

I can not confirm that it's what you have...... but it's not a Toaster !
