Tom,
There is no marking on the Tamaya sextant box key :(
In a pinch use a paper clip with 1/8" of the end bent over with needle nose plyers. Better would be to make your own using a small file and a blank from a local locksmith. Attached see my key and a trace. Zoom and print to make a template. Good luck.
