The camelback shape for straight keys dates back more than 150 years, with early designs by Charles Chubbock (1848), Thomas Hall, and the Chester Brothers in New York. Inspired by the beauty of this historic form, the Begali Camelback offers a fluid, elegant design without replicating classical models. Unlike traditional camelbacks, where the hump sits before the pivot, Begali’s design places the hump at the pivot for superior balance and aesthetics.

Sharing the same heavy 3.5‑pound cast iron base as the Begali Postal Key, this model sits rock‑steady on any table. All other parts are gold‑plated for corrosion resistance and timeless beauty, while the contacts are crafted from 925/000 silver for exceptional conductivity. Precision bearings and a spring positioned close to the pivot ensure effortless keying, even at high speeds, with most of the moving mass placed in front of the spring for smooth, frictionless operation.

Though inspired by tradition, the Begali Camelback is thoroughly modern, built on ergonomic and dynamic principles. Adjustable to suit any operator’s style, it delivers performance that enhances your potential while making a striking statement in any showcase.
