Yea, my Leo didn't come with a red escape so I wasn't too sure; went with the more common freeby.

The Cherry ones are always easier to see because f the sharper edges.

Actually the last one looks like Filco.

Italicized Futura.


Now THIS one stumped me.

Bottom two are Filco I believe, based on the thickness of the plastic.

Yes.   Like the rest of the entries in the Key Ref Wiki stickied above:

F, S D preferred with F up to show the nubile, nubbly, nubian nubs.

3 keys.  I use a bit of clay to hold that third key.  Ruler optional.  I ignore it anyway.

I should be able to find some solution other than clay to keep the angle correct.

Sixty made some crack about having the deeper Red version but not sure if he was serious or trolling.

Does he has any picture to back up his claim?  We should demand pics from him. =P

Is it bad that I recognized all of reaper's escape keys, even though I've never seen a red escape key in my life?

Yes, it's bad.  You've spent too much time on these forums to recognize all them keys.  Now is the time for some fresh air. lol  =D
