In Celebration of the
Season...
Morse
Express has commissioned its seventh annual
Christmas Key.
Our 2007 Christmas Key is a miniature
Marconi style key, taking us back to the Victorian era when Christmas
telegrams were more common than Christmas cards.
The miniature Marconi features three terminals
(front and rear contacts for make-break keying),
and gold-plated brass mechanical parts on a hand-finished
ebony base. It's a pretty little key, equally at
home in the
radio shack, in the field, or decorating a Christmas tree.
The Morse Express
Christmas Key is fully operational. The mechanical parts are
hand machined from solid brass, under-plated with nickel
and finished in 18 carat
gold. The 2007 key measures 2" by 1" at the base and weighs
3-1/4
ounces.
All of the usual
adjustments
(trunnion bearing tension, lever spring tension, and contact spacing)
are
available by means of gold plated screws with matching locknuts, and
the
hand-turned ebony knob is very comfortable to use.
The 2007 Christmas Key will add
something special to Straight Key Night as we think back to our
historical roots and honor our traditions.
The base of each key is
engraved with the Morse Express
“Speedy Key” logo and
“Christmas 2007.” This is a LIMITED
EDITION
of 200 keys, and each key bears an engraved serial number on the base.
The Morse Express 2007
Christmas Key is $79.95 (plus
s/h).

A
word about the serial numbers... if you bought our 2006 Christmas
key last year, then the same serial number will be held for you this
year, until approximately the middle of November. But the exact
date will depend on how quickly we sell out of "unallocated"
numbers, so if the number is important to you please order sooner
rather than later.
Thank
you very
much for your order, and I hope our little Christmas key brings a
little
extra joy to the holiday season for you!
