A short time ago I spent a week in Tokyo. 

A goal of my visit was to explore the radio and electronic shops and booths in Akihabara neighborhood and go to the Tokyo Flea Market at Oi Racecourse.

Among the small treasures I picked up were two telegraph keys:

The Hi-Mound on the left was purchased at a shop in the Radio Department Store building.  I spent about $30 for it.  I believe it is a model HK-703.  Very good feel, nice heavy base. 

The older Dentsu-seiki key (same company before Hi-Mound brand) on the right in the photo was picked up at the fleamarket for about $10.  I don't know the model number - it is a simple, inexpensive key but of good quality.

Photos of my key collection can be found here:
