I bought this Bencher RJ-1 Hand key, 20 years ago, and hardly ever used it. It was sitting in its original box for many years, until I decided to paint the base with quality red paint and clearcoat. The new color really shows it off! This was one of the best, if not THE best straight keys made, and it's in excellent to mint condition. I was going to display it in a book case, but have to decided to sell it to a practicing ham, who can really USE it. - 73
