I got a metal money box at a thrift store but it doesn't have a key. Anybody knows where I could find the right key for it?

@joelstitch:

Those older cash boxes all used the same mass produced stamped metal keys...

Either the locksmith you go to has one or they don't, but no one is going to open up that riveted lock case to try and fit a key to it as that cost of that would be more than a brand new cash box...

On the inside of the lock it has a company stamp, what does that say?

We can help a lot better if you can provide more details. Taking this to a locksmith to find a generic key didnt work?

Thanks
