I assume you mean a genuine IBM-logo key, rather than a generic Allen key.

The IBM ones show up on eBay from time to time. I bought a similar DEC
one a few years ago; it's a size or two larger. Here's one on eBay -
the listing has expired, but it's still visible.

If you're talking about the CE key that switched metering from
customer to IBM, I have no idea. Those were a real pin-tumbler lock;
not just a simple latch. They may even have been unique to each
machine, though I think it would've been impractical to have each CE
carry a jangling bunch of them around. I've never seen one on eBay,
but then there's precious little S/360 stuff on there of any kind.
