>I was surfing the web looking at GNT keys and
>noticed most do not have the wooden base.

This GNT model was made for the marine and was also used by the Danish rail road

In both cases they had the key directly mounted on the telegraph operator table, The key have no wooden base but a contact plate that is mounted in the table, it only takes a minute to unscrew the key and place a new one in the socket, there is no need to solder or unscrew wires.

If a GNT key (your model) have a wooden base, it has been handmade by a radio amateur or so on
