Chances are, the encyclopedia company bought a batch that had bad sectors for this.
The key contained an ‘update’ to the encyclopedia, probably because it was cheaper than what they did before, which was releasing supplements.
All the data inside was about 1.7Gb or something like that, the entire encyclopedia in digital form, plus whatever updates they didn’t bother release in paper.
That encyclopedia was never used, of course. It has always been just a scam on an old lady that ended up becoming decoration, like many other leather-bound books in the house.
People with those types of weird wingdings, dingbats, dinguses, doohickeys, and thingamabobs crowding their keychains always puzzle me.
Why not have proper, normal things one would use as key chains? Like:
Where does one even find a 7gb flash drive, is that a thing?
An 8Gig flash drive with bad sectors maybe?
