Vintage CAT key no.5P8500 w/ the C logo

[armedbandit]

I'm hoping someone on these forums has 4 of the vintage CAT 5P8500 keys lying around that they would like to sell for a reasonable amount. Its the one's with the C. Pretty sure they were originally put out in the 70's and maybe early 80's too I know my front-end loader had one in the early 90's. As you know the cuts never really changed except for the logo pretty much. Hope to hear from someone

Thanks for the advice but I'm not looking for a replacement key, I'm specifically looking for the old brass style with the corporate "C" Logo on it. And I realize all 5P8500 keys are interchangeable but I'm a lock collector with a set of the old style, solid black locks, with the same "C" Logo as the key. I have 5 locks and only 1 original key. I'm attempting to find 4 more of the particular original keys with the "C" Logo to complete my set. I'm hoping someone on here has some sitting in a drawer somewhere and willing to sell em at a reasonable price because you can't obtain these keys any other way
