[SOC] ANTIQUE VINTAGE MORSE CODE KEY BAKELITE BRASS WWII?oneBay, also Keys, Ham Radio, Radio Equipment, Consumer Electronics (end time 23-Jun-09 19:44:53 BST)

Quite so Ed. But "TYPE" in English? Bakelite - not until after 1922 and
perhaps later than that in Germany.

I knew of a guy once who introduced a wind instrument into a museum and it
became an ancient exhibit, a few years later he made more.......

Naw - it's a ringer.

I decided not to leave my family with the rubbish so I converted mine to
cash. I've got three more to go, when I can pluck up the courage!

It's true John: most of the time it does come down to just that (at least
hopefully) e.g. "The bidders know what it is." Furthermore, (especially if
it is 2 guys going at it) it clearly is worth it to them. I have, on
occasion, placed some fairly high bids on Grid Dip Meters, so I really have
no room whatsoever to talk. I'm actually glad to hear that you (John G0RDO)
knew what it is-I'd hate to think it really was a kluge of some sort.

I have a few keys myself-with three keys I think a LOT of-all of which I
lucked-into, rather than paid a LOT for: 1) a 1919 at-least-excellent
condition Japanned-base Vibroplex Blue Racer with the case I think would go
for a pretty good price; 2) a McElroy marbled-base Deluxe Model in very good
condition; and 3rd, what is my personal favorite: a Dow-Key Chrome
Rotatable-Yoke Bug with case in gorgeous condition. My wife can sell them
when I'm a Silent-Key, but barring some financial catastrophe, they're not
for sale! See 'em at: http://n4xy.com/keys_bugs-1.html .

I could never afford the price on the key that started this-and it's not my
'cup of tea' (pardon the pun, this IS SOC after all!) anyway. There are
several modern paddles and a bug or two I'd like to have, but their prices
are out of my range as well. Now... a GDO I don't have... hm-m-m, let's hope
they take PayPal!!! http://n4xy.com/gdos.html  62-64 models from 47-48
'manufacturers' and 7-10 really worthy homebrew GDOs. I also have 4 unbuilt
GDO kits: 1) an EICO 710; 2) Heathkit GD-1B and 3) HD-1250 kits; and 4) a
blister-packed Italian GDO kit. And as long as I'm bragging, I also have
Millen 90651 GDO SN: 1 . Same deal about all of 'em not being for sale-with
that same catastrophe clause one must include these days!
