<p>[QUOTE="mr2real, post: 16515, member: 277"]This key measures 4.5" long, 2.75" tall, and weighs nearly a quarter pound. I have seen skyline keys which are associated with the World's Fair in 1933, and all these keys are clearly marked 1933 World's Fair, Century of Progress, etc. I don't think this is one of those keys, the decoration is much more elaborate. I can date for 1929-1934 due to Medinah Athletic Club in the decoration. Could this be a "key to the city" award? Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Joe</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i440.photobucket.com/albums/qq130/jwallis23/DSCN4514_zpsc69a63f1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="http://i440.photobucket.com/albums/qq130/jwallis23/DSCN4513_zps3ed7fecf.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
