Pretty cool lock. Originally made as fare boxes, but later also made as padlocks. For linear levers, two on each of the four blades of the key.  Gordon

It is a cruciform (cross shaped) key and keyway.

Several of us have done so.
It has two levers per side (8 total) that are set up in line with the length of the key.
