I don't know much about this key - on the top of the key it looks like it has a tree design and the words Gustos (mernm) I believe the last word is spelt correct but its faded abit.

It might 'Custos morum' : a custodian or guardian of morals; censor.
Nice catch vetraio50. That fits with the vines on the handle of the key. In art, vines often represent goodness and spirituality, and an entire book could be written on the symbology of keys. I suspect this is an emblematic/symbolic keepsake rather than a "real" key.
Or from a Tantalus ???
I woke up thinking about it.
Now days, I consider waking up, a good sign for the day Vetraio ! LOL !!
