Mark,

The key you have is a "T-Bar" type Mac bug.  They were all made before 1940.

The S-600 is a bug with a tear drop shaped chromed base.  The S-500 has a
rectangular shaped cast iron base.  BOTH of these keys have something new -
a rounded trunnion support, and the famous T-Bar which allowed the bug to be
placed on its side was now gone for good.

The web page you sent has pictures of your key and the '600.  There is a big
difference.
