A Key Or Two From Around Europe.
Swedish bug key by SRA. THe "TYP BUG 140"....... .
The superb Danish marine key. The Amplidan...... .
Belgian morse key by Gerard.
Very similar to the North American Victor keys made by L.G.Tillotson and
based on a patent of E.M.Hamilton of 1882. It is not yet known whether the original design is by Hamilton or by a European designer.
These keys are quite unique with their knife edge pivot, and quite rare ..... .
Stamped on the brass base is "GERARD" and the letter "T".
