Description
Rectangular iron peg with the number "4" engraved on the bottom, probably used as a key in a machine for printing type.
The key is a solid piece of metal, carved into a rectangular form, similar to a seal (chop), with rounded corners at the top and a raised number four on the bottom formed by a reductive process. There are traces of rust on the key.
