While  not an uncommon key it is rather scarce and unusual. In that 
condition it is  certainly worth the price. What makes it unique was the Navy’s 
requirement  to have the slot on the side of the key in which to insert a wedge 
if a bug  were to be used. Any J-38 on the other hand is pretty bland. 73 –

Dave, I see this as only appealing to a hardcore key  collector. The key is 
actually a pretty ordinary one, and there's no problem  finding a good 
condition to actually use or display. So this one, as I see  it, gets its value 
mostly from the original box, to display it as-is. A  'hangar queen' 
I guess.  
I have a couple J-38's in original packed box, and  I've been going thru 
the same thought process. I won't get a whole lot of  money for them, and 
they're easy to store. Once I sell them at a hamfest and  the new owner throws 
the box away, it's somehow lessened. So I've not sold  them yet, still 
undecided.  
( I recall many years ago I visited a vehicle  collector in Portland OR. He 
had 2-3 vehicles in backyard, one a DUKW, and  his basement was like an 
Army depot of some kind. All kinds of new boxed  supplies. ( He had also some 
kind of marker beacon or glide path transmitter  on an L-shaped frame, for 
setting out next to a temporary airfield. It was  such a unique item I really 
should have bought it. Hope someone did ! ) )  -Hue
