I found a couple sets of blanks this year at an old-time lock shop (i.e. it
has been in business since the 60's). The blanks I have are from Taylor Lock
Co., the triangular ignition key blank is number R79N and the rectangularish
boot key blank number is S71B. I believe they are no longer produced.

You might want to call around to some of the older lock shops with these
numbers to see if they have any, or they may cross reference another
manufacturer.

By the way, I seem to remember reading a tech tip from some time ago (I
believe from the SSOCC) regarding how to get all the locks keyed together
again. I'll try to dig it up if anyone is interested.
