Description

Crafted from rich oak, this telephone exemplifies the quality and durability that Western Electric was known for. The design features a classic wooden box with a hand-cranked magneto on the side, a front-mounted mouthpiece, and a separate earpiece suspended from a hook on the side. The beautiful woodwork is highlighted with brass accents and the original black metal bells at the top. This telephone is in remarkably good condition, maintaining much of its original hardware and finish, which adds to its charm and authenticity as a historical piece. It is a perfect addition to any collection of antique technology or communications equipment and would be equally at home as a conversation piece in a vintage-themed decor. Collectors and enthusiasts of early telecommunications would find this piece particularly appealing, offering a tactile piece of history that captures the essence of an era when wall-mounted telephones were a novel and vital part of everyday life.
