Ken, 

I checked with a friend in the Samual Morse radio club and he replied:

"There were 3 models of this "wire chief" vertical bug made by Vibroplex. 
They were made in 1920 - 1923. These were mostly used in the post offices where desk space was at a premium.  
These are a rare find,

There is only a straight key to use and Marvin was telling me about a vertical key he had at home.  He even ran home to get it to show me.  I had never seen one.  It is a Vibroplex and has a serial number. 
Does anyone know anything about these keys?  I have seen a lot of Vibroplex bugs, but never one like this.  Photos are attached.
