You mean a church key?

Yeah!  I was just thinking that.  Actually have one in the desk drawer 
here at the computer for just such a purpose.  Simplistic die-stamped 
metal with a crappy chroming.  "International Breweries, Inc." with some 
brews named "Frankenmuth" "Old Dutch" and others.  Them internets 
suggest IBI went out of biz in 1966 or 67, so it's gotta be older then 
me, but I'd already figured that.  I think Dad used to open oil 
containers with it back when it came in cans.

Looks like you can still procure them on Ebay, if someone swiped yours.
