Clock winder keys, and technically could be used as a drum key since they have square lugs.

The first 2 are skate keys as Twitch suggested in the last thread. The bottom is a clock key as Anthony guesses.

The hex opening are for the skate wheels on the first 2.

The round head on key #3 is for the mechanism release on some clocks. This was to facilitate setting the time. Some of the finer clocks had sensitive movements and you couldn't just move the hands without messing up the synchronization. So......you inserted the round end into a hole on the clock back to disengage the gearing.

My grandmother had an 8 day clock that had that feature. I remember her telling me how to set it.

Yep, first two are definitely skate keys.

Oh BTW Anthony......drum lugs are just a smidge larger then the shaft for a wind up clock Wink

Being that I thought they all might be clock keys, I can go along with the skate keys, especially being that there was an old pair of skates around too.

My skate's keys looked just like the one with the hex hole on top Tongue
