Does anyone know what these may go to? The metal tip is hollow and not threaded. I’m sure I knew at one time what they were for but don’t remember. Thanks

I have rounded keys similar to this for a small safe but they’re not just smooth on the ends.

Set a single key on a flat surface.
Use your Google screen camera to take a picture. Search, it will tell you what it is.
Pretty slick

Use this all the time for antiques

I tried that with the pictures that he posted. Got nothing. It's not a vending machine key or the plug end of a charger, which is what Google Image came up with. Maybe a better picture like you suggest would work. It might help to put a penny beside it when taking the picture, Google also wanted to call it a tie-rod end.

I tried google image search and nothing similar showed up. I wonder if it is some adjustment tool for a bicycle. Brakes or something?

Coke holder. There should be caps on the end with a little spoon connected… if you don’t have the caps/little spoon.. might as well toss it. Not going to do anyone any good.

Are these for a luggage lock or something? Also looks kind of like a paper towel dispenser tool opener.

If you don’t figure it out, those need to go in the ‘junk’ drawer. One day you will figure it out and be glad you kept them. I had an incident with a charger cable I didn’t keep.

Look like tubular keys, but I don’t see any notches in yours?
