Church key

[Hardware]

Another thread got me to wondering/wandering...how many of you know what a church key is?

I am interested to know how many of you younger folks know. No googling allowed/aloud.

If you know, just say, "I know" but don't give it away.

I know even though people cant follow directions.

Here's one from Hamm's Beer.

Not a church key, but vintage bottle opener from the early 50s, again from gramps. He knew his way around a tavern. This was a classic brand, sponsored the Cardinals in the 40s and gave Harry Caray his start as an announcer.

Opened many a can of Jax and Fallstaff for my grandfather with a church key. My brother & I got to sip the suds off the bottle.

Uhm , takes a good sized opener to get the job done right there.


Back to the Church Key- we also used them to open cans of Hi-C fruit punch or Hawaiian punch cans as a kid.

Suckers were like 32oz, made of steel and stayed open in the fridge once the two triangles were punched in the lid. One to pour, a smaller to vent- similar to the oil can.

Some people don't read the OP. they just jump in.
I know, I have a drawer full of them. I have some P51's also.

Anyone know the reason why they were called a church key?

Thanks for playing.

I also keep one in my truck, in the kitchen, and in my tool box...you just never know.

The GI can opener is not a church key, but it's a handy little opener to have. I was not in the military, but I had one as a Boy Scout. Actually, the small is is the P38, and the P51 is the larger version that is about 2" long.

One post is all it took…. This is why we can’t have nice things.
