Standard model automatic telegraph key. Notice by guest Herman Willemsen, VK2IXV:
Kenco bugs were usually made by Kenmore Co. Boston Mass.
Here pics of my Kenco bug, but in writing on top is the manufacturer Raylynn Mfg Co. Boston Mass.
Well, it could be that the bug had to be made by more than one independent manufacturer by government order - or Raylynn was the designer (only). Herman wrote "Bakelite base" where the logo is found. The base only has a hight of 15 mm.
