What key?

I just picked up a harmonica for the first time. It belonged to my father, and I don't know what key it's in or how to find out. I'm not even sure what kind it is. There are no buttons on it or anything. All I know is that there are 10 holes, and, according to a slip of paper that comes with it, holes 4 through 7 are:
4 = C; -4 = D
5 = E; -5 = F
6 = G; -6 = A
7 = C; -7 = B
Can someone please tell me what key that is?

You have a ten hole diatonic harmonica, key of C.

On the left-hand side of this page, click on tab rulers. Take a look at chromatic musical scale and diatonic harmonica (key of C) tablature. It shows you all the notes on a C harp, including bends, overblows and overdraws. I have found this resource to be an invaluable tool.
