E.cotterill key , does anyone still make them.

Thanks so much for the sound advice. I first came upon an E. Cotterill Padlock about 15 years ago at antique fair and paid $75 for it. Its in excellent condition with key. Based on my research it appears to be a very rare model combining two patents Wilsons and Acme both stamped on the lock face. I have yet to see another like it. After waiting and searching for 15 years I miraculously acquired two Cotterill padlocks ( both with keys and in good + condition) toward the end of 2015 at reasonable prices compared to the current going prices, which have inflated greatly.

Its taken me 15 years of searching to make these two acquisitions and I have no idea how long it would take to add another to my collection, and thought it might be easier and perhaps worth the risk, to attempt to acquire one without a key ( hopefully at a much cheaper price) and have a key made.

Your old world craftsmanship is an inspiration! Let me know if you might be willing take on a Cotterill key making project for a lock with no key in case I find one that appears in good condition and can be cheaply obtained.
