Is this key old?

The key is 1920 to 1945, roughly. What part of the U. S are you
in? Jimbob

the number is not a serial number. it is how deep the cuts are in the blank. If you look at it closely you can see the difference.

Russwin later merged with Corbin Cabinet Lock Co. and since is known as Corbin.
The #'s indicate the depth cut from tip to bow or head.
I might have some of those exact blanks, as I am a locksmith and every once in awhile I come across those locks. My best guess would be 20's-50's
Corbin makes MANY types of blanks with different groove configurations.
Hope this helps.

No, your key is not a blank. I said I possibly have that key particular configuration as a blank. In other words, I might be able to cut you a duplicate.
