...bought mine when we lived in Muskoka, there seem to be more of them to the north and east, I haven't seen many of them here in SW ON

As for the key, get a flashlight a peek inside the round holes to see if it's a tri or quad sided key...very few of these cabinets took anything else...if there's a locked drawer, you should be able to open it with a small screwdriver.
You can usually pick up keys for them if you keep your eyes open at antique stores where they have a "box of keys" or on ebay.

Wondered who that pretty lady was !!! You changed your avatar . Remember when I had bought my 1st? Doesn't seem that long ago (and it wasn't) this vintage stuff is very addicting. Tks for the comments. Bought this one in Cochrane about 5 weeks ago.
