Welcome To Page 10 With More Keys
This is a nice condition old J.H. Bunnell strap key used for maintenance communications I believe. it is a bit too stiff for normal communications like with your radio set, or in the past on the wire lines.
Here are two battery jars for making battery current where there were no batteries available. The one on the left was for a smaller local rail road station and the one on the right from a larger station in Oklahoma, long ago. Both fairly nice condition, but the right one developed a crack in part of the jar, I guess temperature changes, never been bumped, etc. More info later on.
