Western Union Telegraph Key and Sounder

[dirt diver]

I picked this up at a yard sale yesterday. The key is marked "Legless 2A W.U. TEL. CO." and Thompson-Levering Co. of Phil. Pa.
The sounder is marked "Foote Pierson and CO. New York". Patented in U.S.A. March 6 1917. You can read the marking on the board.

I thought someone would have some idea of value. This is a nice piece of americana.

I recognize a J38 Key early hams used them heavily before other key types came along. So all I could estimate the value of would be the key and that is not fair to the grouping you have....
