Was this key quite a bit lower than the other black keys? Because it almost looks like the key button is missing.

So I was working on a splendid Kincaid spinet today. I was tuning away and there was this one note that kept making a knocking sound.  Sure enough, the back of the keytop was hitting the keystop rail (or whatever you call it on an upright piano).  Not only was it hitting the rail, but there was a huge space in front of the key.  I wiggled the key fore and aft.  Dang, that was the pulliest key I'd ever encountered.  I removed the key and the pictures explain it.
