[CW] Lightning Deluxe questions

[Joseph L Pontek Sr via CW]

The LaHiff main spring showed up in 1948 with the Super De Luxe, aka 
Presentation.
This key had the LaHiff main spring, jewelled pivots, the plastic red 
hole plug and
red paddles and knob.  It had the chromed base with a gold plated brass 
plate
covered the base.  1979, the LaHiff main spring was discontinued

I owned one for awhile in Dayton, but I was offered a sizeable mark up 
right after
I did a spit & polish job.
