Celluloid keytops reply

[James Grebe]

Welcome Cia,
The waterfall keys are the ones with no lips on the front of the keytop but
form an arc going down the front.  Lester spinets had this style many times.
The kind you want are the early plastic with lines in them.  Look forward to
your posts as we were all new once.
