I bought four keys at EBay auction two weeks ago, A J37, a J38, a Navy Flameproof and a Russian Minature. They ranged in price from $31 to $37 and I considered them bargains. The last time I tried these keys were going for $80 to $100 which I refused to pay, even for collectibles, so I bought a Bencher RJ-1 new. It is a far better key than the others. I have heard good things about the Junker, but I have not used one. For an every day key, I would recommend the Bencher RJ1 or the RJ2 if you like a chrome base for about $100 or $120 respectively. For a $3 key, see my CW Hinge junk box key. It is as easy to use as the J37 or J38, but not as easy as the Bencher.
