Vintage Vibroplex Key
Posted: Sat May 21, 2011 12:27 pm
I am the granddaughter of one of the best Ham Radio Operators who ever lived! 
His name is Floyd Hofmann, W9EX. My grandfather passed away 2 years ago and he left my mom a Vibroplex Key that he said had ruby bearings? From the serial number it seems to be from 1913 or 1914. The base is chrome/silver and the name plate says Vibroplex in New York. Is there anyone who can help us determine a value? What other information do you need? I can send pictures if needed. Thank you so much!!
