[QUOTE="SYNCHRONCITY, post: 2421066, member: 6283"]Hey Bronwen. Hope you are doing well. The box is definitely old. How old, I don't know, but the seller found the original key and mailed it to me and I got it today. The seller told me this key was always with this box for all the years he owned it and he had purchased it at an antique shop over 45+ years ago. It works perfectly in the lock so I feel certain it is original. It looks like it has been around for some time and is very weathered. Here are some pictures of the key below. I wonder if a precise age can be estimated by this type of key? [ATTACH=full]263869[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]263870[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
