Replica of four of Titanic's keys on a double ring and brass tag with punched lettering "Binocular Box". One of these keys belonged to the binocular box on the bridge of the R.M.S. Titanic. It is unknown where the other three were used. Officer David Blair inadvertently removed all the keys including the crow’s nest key when he left the Titanic and was replaced by Henry Wilde.

 

It is interesting to note that the binoculars owned by Titanic’s original Second Officer David Blair were one of the few instruments known to have Titanic's name engraved on them. A pair of binoculars were issued to each officer, and when the officer was on duty, they were stowed in a teak box located on the bulwark of the Bridge wings.

The actual keys were recently auctioned off for $106,600 dollars in 2014.
