British Candlestick Tel No Attachment

[FABphones]

Added this cute little Candlestick telephone number add on to the collection. Not sure what it is called, hoping a member here will be able to tell us.

Attaches to a desk stand via a metal clip. Made of metal, pull down the roll (fabric) to write telephone numbers (this one untouched, no numbers written). Displayed here on a GPO No150 candlestick (the second phone to enter my collection, and my first stick).

I've seen similar in the US but never the UK. This one advertising 'John O'London's weekly'. A weekly magazine available each Saturday for the price of just tuppence.

Published in London between 1919 and 1954. First issue April 1919.

That's a very nice item - where did you find it?

Gifted to me. Promotional item so we think manufactured for first issue or early 1920s during the magazines beginning to boost circulation.
