The key appears to be from the 8BA era.

Tubman, I thought that too. It's an Ilco 1125K key. I have seen those blanks used as a replacement for the earlier cars.

I have seen that type of lock on closed cars too. I'm not sure why you would want to lock the spare tire that is locked in your trunk, but I have seen it.
