Its from a 1890s secretary drawer. The shape is reminiscent of a warded key, except it has this pin at the top that I have never seen in a lock. The key would have to have a corresponding hole, which no modern warded key I know of has.

Where can I get a key like this and what is it called?

    Yup something a bit like this! Don’t know how they’re called though…
    Maybe in an antiques shop?
