Need help Identifying this part that came with my Continental

Hi all,

Can anyone please help me identify what this is?

Thanks

I'm sure someone here will give it the correct name and perhaps a better explanation. It's the ignition switch for a '41 Zephyr and Continental. It locks the steering wheel/column when the key is turned and removed. Sorta like a anti-thief lock.

Her'es a photo of where it goes on the dash.. This is on a Zephyr but the location is the same for the Continentals
