Something like this? I'm guessing if you just keep looking online, you'll find something similar. Hopefully one of the two patterns in this link hits, but even at worst case scenario, apparently it's super easy to pick the lock with a bobby pin.
I'm also wondering if there's some lower grade party favors on etsy or Amazon or ebay or something that would work as well, but I'd be wary of it breaking.
In the meanwhile, as silly as this sounds, why not make an impression of the key in clay etc. as a back up prior to you acquiring a new key?

What about those re-purposed building materials stores?
But on the slightly higher end, maybe Schenk Architectural Imports might be able to point you in the right direction?
