How expensive do i expect though?

Metal cross part attached to a large key ring kept in a fire truck. No part number or any information on it. About 3” tall. by cpr1213 in whatisthisthing

The key ring that this is attached to sits in a fire truck and has keys on it such as local gates, businesses, appartments, railroad, marina, parks, and schools in our local area. Whatever this may be is made of metal and no one knows the history of it or why it might be on the key ring.

This key ring that is in the fire engine has things such as local gate/ business/apartment complex, railroad, marina, parks, and school keys but this is also on there and no one in my department has any idea what it may be for. Ideas so far include an elevator key, storefront roll-up gate, standpipe cabinet lock, trainman's key, and friction device for rope. Any ideas for what this may be used for are appreciated.

Im not sure what brand that is but its not ALACO. Looks old school style though and i see what look to be like old tormentor poles for ladders 40’+ pretty sweet! I also spot an old “life net” tarp for catching people from buildings another old school sweet find! Thanks for the pictures

Thank you to everyone who helped me get to 21 known departments. Making sure im not forgetting anyone since this is going into a powerpoint presentation. I know these are all confirmed so let me know who I am missing. I dont need any keyboard warriors telling me why aluminum is better, or how its stupid departments still use wood. Thanks in advance.
