<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Owliza, post: 4617191, member: 20298&quot;]I got in! We went to a crappy flea market today and i ended up buying a little ring of old keys. Tried all the likely one when we got home. No dice. Boyfriend tried.&nbsp; No luck. Watched a video of a man making an old timey key and decided to just try again. 30 seconds of spinning and it popped open!</p><p><br /></p><p>No treasure but I can use it. It is in rough shape but better than I feared. No dead mice . </p><p><br /></p><p>The key on the right was taped to the inside of the lid! It won&#039;t be stored in there again. The wee key on the left is the one that worked. </p><p><br /></p><p>Bonus- there is a key for a bentwood singer case that SHOULD work on one I have with the lock in the locked position so lid doesnt properly close. Fingers crossed! Further bonus- now I have keys to try for my great-grandmother&#039;s violin case since I lost that key in grade 5 .</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks all for your help and suggestions! You guys gave me the confidence to play around with it. [ATTACH=full]411237[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]411238[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]411239[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
