I have had this for years. I stumbled across another in my phone room. Yes....I had two. I was born in 1953 so this is special...but I don't need two. Locking bakelite handset, this displays wonderfully. It is in excellent never used condition.

It is 65 years old!!

If this is something you would like for you collection.....PM me an offer.....Doug

They deserve to be kept together, and preferably on a ringdown circuit so they can talk to each other. They'll get lonely without each other :-)

its all about space in the Phone Room. It is never easy sending a phone that was in my collection to a new home. I have done it more times than I can remember and have had no regrets, Hopefully that will continue  ...Doug

Just don't do too much of it...
They send the men in white suits for people that talk to themselves a lot...

These are sound powered sets. Used to sell them at COT. Had to replace the handset guts to use on standard telephone lines.I think we added a buzzer for signaling
