Early Coil Box Keys

Post by Humblej » Wed Nov 16, 2022 8:43 am

For Sale, early coil box keys. I do not know what they fit. $30 each. Free postage in a padded envelope. If you want insurance or packed in a box that will cost extra. International shipping will cost you. Please identify the key by # and quantity desired. Personal check is OK.

#5 is a Remy key

I would like the upper one in the picture marked #3. Those are for Heinze coil boxes. Thanks! I’ll send particulars later today.

Can anyone tell me if one of these keys will fit a 1910 Jacobson Brandow coilbox switch?
I was thinking the blade went the whole length of the key?

I saw that, however, it is a repro but probably correct. The shank of the key is 1/4” but I think they made a smaller one, maybe 3/16” also. I have a faceplate for the smaller one. RV Anderson was against reaming the hole out to 1/4”, maybe because it is an original.

Hi Jeff, I sent you an email needing 2 of your #5 keys. I believe they fit a Remy coil box.
