Bundy with plateau thumb hole.

Recently I bought a wood Bundy on EBay. The price was pocket change, and when it arrived it looked like a piece of firewood covered with verdigris. It cleaned up amazingly well and after a repad, recork and some TLC it looks as good as it ever did. Curiously, it has a plateau key on the thumb hole, sealed with a cork pad. Apart from that its stock standard. I'm amazed at how well-built it is, certainly a bit further up the food chain than the plastic Bundy. With my Fobes SF CF+ it tunes as well as any instrument I've ever tested. Altogether a pleasant surprise. Can anybody shed any light on the plateau thumb key? I've never seen a plateau key in isolation like this.
