Thanks, Emeritus. I can remember "Kingsonic" ones like yours being sold in the local market (SW London) 5 for £1 in 1981-2. Absolutely fine for speech and the mechanism was reliable enough. They were vastly superior to "KayBee" which were £1 for 10 and which invariably jammed halfway through a side!
