52 ignition key


Recommended Posts

This is the key that was in my original ignition switch in my 1952 Dodge B-3-B when I bought the truck.

 

It is a Brass HURD Key that fits both my ignition and passenger side door lock.

 

I did a little research and the HURD keys for the late 1940"s to the 1950's in Dodge and Plymouth vehicles look exactly like mine.  HURD is also considered a vintage automotive Key; So I suspect this is the original key for my truck based upon the photos I just looked at.

 

PS:  The key metal had a lot of corrosion and was very dark so I got my can of BRASO and shined it up for the photos.
