Self explanatory error message is self explanatory. (quota of attachments has been reached (too many attachments and uploads already over the last 8 years, server is full))

Glad you figured out the host a photo somewhere and paste the URL here. =)

cool key, but that's not a beginner picking project.. may be best to call a locksmith, this wont be something you can open with paperclips and bobby pins.

good luck though,

Many old cabinet locks are limited in how many key changes the design will support, most of them have fewer than 200
If you go to one of the low end "antique" stores, you my find that they keep a cigar box full of old barrel keys (the ones with the hole for that round post) and the chances of finding one that fits the keyway are good, to make it fit the lock is a further step that may require cutting the key down a bit, you need to find a key that has room to cut down, as you cant really build it up.
