Why is this key shaped like this?

I have seen a lot of model T keys, but never noticed one with this little spur at the base. Any idea why?

I believe that hole was originally a square- this one worn by years of being on a key ring perhaps?
Pretty sure the square fit the gas valve stem on a Prestolite acetylene tank for headlights. Perhaps not but............
The spur? no idea.............

Folks - re-read the original post.
He's asking about the spur at the bottom of the key, not the hole.
Personally, I think someone filed the key to make that spur for their own purposes.
