[GreenKeys] wooden-cased TTY on ebay

[Duncan M. Brown]

Dave,

It may be a "teletype" but it is not a "teleprinter" or "teletypewriter". 
It is a "Weatstone perforator" or 'Morse perforator" made by the Teletype
Corporation. It punches two rows of holes and was used to transmit
high-speed Morse Code.

Since it says "Teletype Corporation" on it, this unit is no older than
about 1925.

Have fun,

Duncan
