I opened a trunk for my neighbor last month, used my warded padlock picks, the L- shaped pick did the trick

Go to Ebay, Search "Wheary Key", or "Wheary Cushontop Key". Several there. Good Luck
Yours is WT 36.

You sure it isn't WTB6 with a B? can you take a zoomed in pic of the stamped letters/numbers above the lock on the keyway?

Here is a WTB5 key on Etsy, but I cannot find a WTB6 key for you: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1358929419/

The original pic came from a cell phone so unfortunately I can't work any digital magic (I used to consult & teach computer graphics but mainly vector) that really helps....BUT in looking at it enlarged on my monitor I'm thinking it is a WTB6!! Thanks for your help!!
