The Key has now been identified thanks to Randy Cole. It is
"... a WW2 Deluxe Original.with the older
style frame and damper castings. I've attached a picture of one made a few
months before yours. The fingerpiece (knob) has been replaced with a black
oval paddle. As you know, some ops preferred two paddles. Vibroplex
started using the more modern rounded frame and damper castings around S/N
140,000. The base on yours looks a bit thicker than usual but maybe that's
just the picture. It should be 1/2" thick." -- quote from Randy's reply
to my query. He certainly knows his keys!

Thanks to all the others who took the time and trouble to
assist me.
