Description

You are bidding on this interesting old telegraph key. It was recently found in a local estate. I don't now much about it. Just what I briefly found on the web. It appears to be marked Tillotson & Co  New York. I can't fully make it out. Please see photos and judge for yourself. What you see is what you are bidding on. It measures approx. 3" x 5 1/2" at it's largest. Looks like it might be nickel plated over brass. It is in as found, uncleaned condition.
