Anyone know anything about this Duplex drum key, such as age? (see pix) I've not come across any other picture of this key before.
Does it predate the Ludwig & Ludwig "Mickey Mouse" key?
All of the above are in my drum key collection, fyi.

Thanks. Yep, it's based on clock key style. I think that drummers way back when (early 1900's) would try to use clock keys, for instance, on square tension rod heads. It fits some modern tension rods.
