019 - Clockwork key - I got the number from an invoice dated October 31, 1968 - signed by the boss himself. The big key was for the locomotives, excavators etc. The 4th from the left was used in the locomotive shed. There was a smaller "Bühler" herringbone key for the racing cars and the FIGURO. The small Biller key came with the 050 Boxers from Canada. So far only known on 115 helicopters, 100 Trans World Flyer or the 745 excavator - and rigidly attached to these toys.
