Hard to believe, but in looking through that giant box of unidentified keys every family keeps just in case one might come in useful one day, I found an almost dead copy of the key in your photograph. The only difference is the longer tooth is inboard of the ward and the the shorter tooth is outboard of it. I tried it carefully on my box and it locked it. Unfortnately, moving it in reverse, it wouldn't unlock it. Fortunately, I'd though of that and left the top open, so it was easy just to slide the bar back with a screwdriver. Now I have something to show, I might try buying a bank and filing my own. DaveP
