Type II London Museum Medieval Catalogue
(The classification for all folded keys)

A similar example is illustrated in Egan (1998. no.314) and described on page 113 as:
"Folded bit and hollow shank"
"This is the only listed copper-alloy key that was not cast. The method of manufacture is paralleled by keys published by Hume (1863, pl 19). The locks cannot have been particularly robust to have been operated by such flimsy keys."

Approximately:
24.5mm (15/16") in length
