Looking for info on a Douglas cylinder cabinet key

Post by FloridaClay »

All,

I have a circa 1906 Douglas Phonograph Company cylinder cabinet, the one marked in this ad. Each drawer has a lock, but I have not been able to locate a proper key for it. Does anyone have one with a working key and if so would you be so kind as to post a picture of the key and give its length so I can be on the lookout for one?

And of course should you happen to have a correct key for sale, please let me know.

I am guessing that it would have used a common off-the-shelf furniture key available at the time.

Clay
