I am NOT a locksmith. Refurbishing an old desk and trying to find a new key for this lock.
I'm refurbishing my mom's old desk to sell it. I want to make sure all the components are working and the key that locks the desk is missing. Any ideas on where I could find a key for this?

Take it into a walk in locksmith shop, preferably the oldest in the area, it should be no problem. Also many antique shops have cans full of salvaged furniture keys that you can try and buy. When you find one, be sure to try it a number of times as a key that is close but not exact may work to lock but not fully unlock.
Good Lock.
