1920's Buick Ignition Switch with key

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone. I have a Delco 1920's combination ignition/lights switch with a key cylinder at the top like this one.

What kind of lock cylinder is used in this switch? Is it an Eagle, Yale, other?

Also, can anyone help me identify what years of Buick this switch originally fit?

Thank you

I'm asking because I am trying to find out if I can have a key made for the switch I have. Knowing the manufacturer of the lock cylinder and the years they were used would be a great help.

Looks like 1919 & 1920 had them. 
Maybe ask the Buick 1919&1920 guys in the Buick section? 
I'm guessing the keys were Yale, but they would know for sure.

Thanks for your help. We got it figured out.

Just in case anyone else ever needs to know to have the keys cut from code, the lock cylinder was made by Eagle. I told the shop that I believed it was between 1918 and 1925 and they were able to cut the key for me.
