This is a key for locking and unlocking aircraft panel fasteners. I'll have to find the name of them I don't remember what they're called. I know Camillus did make these, but I don't think they were the exclusive manufacturer. I believe the addition of the handle was done after market.

Awesome display Ray, you never cease to amaze me at the things that come out of your collection!

I can relate to this all too well, my cell phone of 5 years crapped out on me two Sundays ago.
I lost a lot of phone numbers.

We also used Cam-Loc and Air-Loc fasteners on the F-4's.The Cam-Locs had a straight slot and the Air-Locs a cross slot that we used a TL-29 to open.

Thanks Dale and you are correct;it is called a,"Dzus key"(pronounced Zoose)and the handles were added by me as the originals were broken.

Oh my! My envious little heart is gonna pitterpat right outta my chest!
I especially like the Art Nouveau ones. I’m a total sucker for little watchfob knives.
Here’s mine.

Nice assemblage zoogirl! The knife that is third from the left;is that an I*XL or a Miller Brothers? That is what it looks like to me. Thanks for posting them!

Thank you!
The tang is stamped SOB with no other marking.

Yes, that's a real SOB.

I looked at it and said ‘SOB, I gotta have that!’
