Looking for Trunk Key from 1800s

[trunkman]

Hello,

I have a humpback trunk from the late 1800s. The latch on the trunk has a hasp that swings down over a metal loop. There is a small star at the top part of the hinge. This, I believe means that the locking mechanism was made by the Star Lock Work of Philadelphia. The trunk has a brass padlock attached to the lower part of the locking mechanism by a swivel. The brass lock swings upward and when open would enclose and lock on the loop. On the padlock is a stamped patent and date of mar, 1870. The padlock opens like a crab pincher claw and closes over the loop. The key would be a double bit skeleton with a solid tip - not a barrel type key. The padlock also has a capital letter K stamped on the side. I would say the key to match would also have the K and Star Lock Works stamped on it.

Would you have any information on who or where I might find this missing key. The trunk is in fabulous shape and I've restored several others to pristine condition. Having an original key would be fantastic.

Please let me know if you can help. I've attached a photo of the lock and locking hasp.

PS. I've contacted most of the trunk parts suppliers found online and no one has this key. You may know collectors that have keys for sale.

Thanks,

Ken
