that looks like an early one. 50's maybe? just a guess based on the logo.

This key could be very useful. (I had a 60's Sonor snare w/ slotted rods that would not receive any modern Sonor key or any other brand slotted key. I wondered what the original key was like. This may be the one that fits. However I won't be putting $$ into this auction, it's already a bit high).

I was wondering if it fits Phonic rods, but then I saw the asking price.

It`s a drum,.....Hit It !!

The heads on Sonor tension rods were 9mm for many years and keys from British drums , Trixon , Tromsa, Deri and Rimmel, don't fit( they are 8mm). Older Trowa and Lefima were 10mm , then 9mm------so they will work on Sonor as well as the black plastic covered , Sonor keys and some modern Sonor keys( they widened the slot on some ,with a corresponding, thicker bar on the key).

This might set a record for a single key but about 2 years ago a pair of 1950's chromed Trixon keys of similar construction to this one fetched 270.00 on ebay( U.S.).

It`s a reject, one side has the script stamped vertical and running off the top.

Hi OddBall, here Arno.

Excuse me, but I do not understand what you mean with "it´s a reject..."

Sorry for my poor English
