Title: Kellogg Candlestick Question
Post by: jjflory on August 19, 2017, 08:05:28 AM
All,

I recently bought this Kellogg Candlestick from ebay.  It has a cover/holder on the top of the transmitter that I guess holds a phone number or something like it.  I haven't received it yet so I can't tell if it's part of the Transmitter or Transmitter Cup or if it's screwed on. It appears to have a Kellogg Transmitter Cup, but again the picture isn't at the right angle to see it clearly.

The question is...Is the cover/holder a option or was this a specific model of Kellogg Candlestick?  If have looked through several Kellogg catalogs, but cant find any reference of it.  See attached pictures.

Any assistance would be great.

Thanks

Jeff

Jeff   ....   It's a Kellogg No. 88 Number Card attachment.       It's held in place by 2 of the machine screws that fasten the transmitter face plate to the transmitter cup.     I have a Kellogg catalog which shows the attachment.      I'll dig it out and post it shortly.

Jeff   ....   Found the catalog page fairly quickly.    Here's a "jpeg" version of the page in Kellogg's 1936 Magneto telephone Catalog.    The number plate attachment is on the right about 3/4's of the way down the page.    Just click on the picture a couple of times to enlarge.

Thanks Jeff & Harry.  I think I have that Catalog...I just missed it.

Thanks, again.
