A MORSE KEY

Here is a very old Marconi Morse Key Type 100 on a bakelite base which is mounted on a wood frame which is in-turn mounted on a steel plate. There are both front and rear contacts. There is no maker's label with the type number or a serial number on this key. The key comes approximatly from the 1919 to 1920's time period as they can be viewed in photos of Marconi's yacht (a floating laboratory) wireless room. Received from England October 2007. This is a nice operating key with a good solid feel to it and heavy contacts.
