Old “Morse Code Device” I found?

Posted on 7/18/20 at 6:43 am
I was helping my friend clean out his grandparent’s house after, you know... (don’t ever volunteer for this)
I came across this thing in the attic and he said I could just have it.
I’m positive it’s some sort of “training tool” for Morse code, based on the placard at the bottom left. I’ve done some googling and I can’t seem to find anything to indicate where it’s from, what year, etc.
Any help would be cool. TIA.

Is that a telegraph?

You can do a continuity test to see it still works. Nice find.

It’s the machine that women use to make life decisions.

There’s a clue as to its use on the device.
There’s a handle. That means it’s portable. Field telegraph of some sort?

Could have been used on the railroad....

From googling, it looks like it’s WWII era and everything I see is from British websites. Maybe it’s a British Morse code training tool?

Brings back nightmares from code school

Your friend's grandfather was a spy. While the family was sitting around the radio listening to Lawrence Well, he was communicating with Spain. It's the only possibility.

That’s a “practice key” for learning/practicing Morse code.

That's cool as shite. I'd clean it up and find a way to use it.
Too bad you didn't find a second one. You could run the wire to your kid's room and send them messages that they would have to decode.
That's a total dad/son memory in the making.

It could be a nice addition to your sex dungeon, if you have one. Electricity just adds another level to all that crazy shite people like you are into.

It says what it is on the tag. It is a training key to learn and practice Morse Code..

Not exact but there might be more info that might help.
