    Looks like that cylinder likely uses the original Yale No. 1 pin tumbler blank which was flat with a trefoil bow and in use until 1882, see thumbnail attached. Probably only has four tumblers and one could try cutting to code using 5668, assuming it uses a direct digit code; or could be easily impressioned. I believe Ilco 1031 blank could be shortened to fit.
