The keychain that came with the jeep included a piece of history of America. At first the small tube just looked like a floating keychain, but upon further investigation turned into this prize. Turns out it was an early advertizing gimic for a dairy in New Jersey. I opened the top by removing the chain and slid the top off to reveal a small tube of paper. I unrolled the paper and found this gem!!!Wink Note it's atomic not nuclear wording!

That's kind of interesting. Is that an original key shape for the Jeeps? Are they available anywhere?

Looks like a key for a Yale type lock. I remember that stuff. When I was in grade school we used to practice A-bomb attacks. They'd blast a warning and everyone had to crawl under their desk and cover their heads. Scared the crap out of 6 and 7 year olds.

I guess it is, my '46 2A has the keyed coil, I did find a key blank on ebay for $16 last week and bought one for a spare key.

Ditto what low said.  Also, the original Yale and Towne keys had Willys Overland on the key head.

Edit:  Here's a photo that low posted in the Parts Project:
