Criterion Music Box Key - Where to get one?

Hi -
This may be completely the wrong board for this, and my apologies if so. I am a phonograph guy who has just gotten my first antique music box. It is a Criterion. No clue as to the model. It is missing the winding key so I need one, but don't know a source for this. Can anyone help? I have quit Facebook and have turned my back on all the evil associated it, so can't post on any music box boards there.

Thanks - Mike

Criterion and Euphonia boxes are essentially all the same. All made by F.G. Otto & Sons.

This is most likely the crank you want. Easy to spot by the nut attaching the crank arm to the shaft.
