    Default Old key found in house

    One of many many old keys in my house, trying to figure out what this could be for. Can't get the image to upload, so here's link to it: http://imgur.com/UrPbR5i

    That is a push key for a 6 lever push key padlock. More than likely, being as how it's a Miller lock key, it probably went to a Champion 6 lever round padlock. Now if only you could find the padlock, hmmm.

    The key is for a relatively common "pancake" pushkey lock. See for example http://www.antique-locks.com/showthr...ancake-Padlock

    If you need to upload images in the future, try http://www.antique-locks.com/showthr...-to-your-posts

    For future readers, here is the image (which I did trim and shrink a bit):
