Hello David! Some years ago an ex Ham gift to me a very old 
vibroplex. Its really old and need some restore HI.

But I miss the label and serial number 'cause it lost in the 
way :( I can't determine how old is it.

Somebody knows?

It will be upload for everyone aknowlegment.

    Assuming this is all original its a fairly late key. The 
rounded castings are post about 1947 and so is the oval dot 
knob. One must be careful about dating with knobs because 
they are so often not the originals but I think they are on 
this key. I also don't remember exactly when the single 
large weight was introduced.  Again, if this is all original 
it probably dates from the 1960s.  However, you can get a 
better guess from someone on the Morse Code mailing list at:
