Description :

A classic piece of early communications history, this Marconi‑style Vibroplex telegraph key showcases the engineering that powered railroad and wireless messaging in the early 20th century. Set on a solid base and built with precision metal components, it delivers the unmistakable craftsmanship associated with Vibroplex semi‑automatic “bug” keys.
