Yeah, looks _very_ much like the "key" people use to unlatch
interior door locks on bathrooms for when the door is accidentally
locked from the wrong side, or the kid locks themselves in. These
days people usually use screwdrivers or roasting skewers.
[Or at least, I do ;-)]
The other thing it's location suggests is that it might be
a key for something they didn't want you getting into - like
a very old/primitive/not-very-secure lock on a gun or money
box or something like that.
