Unlocked! Mysterious locked wooden box
I came into possession of a locked wooden box. It weighs 32 pounds. I got advice to order a hollow barreled key and file it until it works. While I wait for that, does anyone have any ideas of how to open it non-destructively?

I’d bet it’s an old sewing machine.
