Grammont Type 10 1910-1920 French wooden telephone

Found this last month while on vacation in France. Virtually complete, as far as I can tell, save for one screw of the strain relief of the handset cord.

Very nice!  Things like that don't appear very often over here, and when they do, the cost is very high.

Agreed - very nice.  That would look nice on my shelf next to the candlesticks!

Thanks guys. We don't see this one very often in Holland either.

I'm only going to give it a light clean and polish. It doesn't need much. Even the nickel is almost all there.
