I went to several known hardware stores to get a copy made and none had any blanks. I finally stumbled across an old locksmith that had 1 blank in stock that made my copy. He said if he didn't have the blank hanging on the wall that he'd be able to get it-I'd try that route. Look for a guy with graying hair and a pot belly that's been doing locks for awhile. Mike

You have to go to a locksmith; those guys in the hardware stores won't be able to help. When I had my keys made, they said it was a very common blank. I was surprised to hear that, but I walked out with two copies for a total of $3.00. Zeke

I ordered in a box of them years ago, and I still have some of them left. If you can't find any local contact me at townwagon(remove this)@yahoo.com, just remove the (remove this) anti spam device and I will sell you a couple. Eric

These days it seems the trick is finding an OLD locksmith or shop.

The lock shops here will copy a key if they have the blank....but don't seem

to be able to create a new key to fit an existing old lock, such as ignition or trunk.

My son-in-law has been working with a guy in Kansas City who seems to know this

old stuff. If anyone lives in that area, I can ask the man's name & other info.

Adams lock in Columbia, Mo. can do them as well. Problem I've found is they have to buy a box of keys, not one, and you buy the box. End up costing $25 - $30 for the first key. Probably why Eric has a bunch.
