Well here it is. A B-R Electric Wood Wall Telephone, circa 1900 - 1902

Just finished the outside restoration.

If anyone has a correct Transmitter Faceplate or a Reciever let me know

I can't get into Google+, no account and won't open one, so, I can't see the picture.

That's a pretty cool phone in great condition.  Do you have any pictures from other angles?  The interior? If this were my phone I would nickel plate  those brassed out parts.  Dennis Halliworth does an excellent job at an affordable price, he has a listing in the Classifieds section if you choose to do so.  I'm not sure what to do about the crank handle.  I wonder if that is one of the standard handle types that can be swapped out?

Jeff - were you the buyer of the BR transmitter?
Dave

jjflory

Yes, do you have one? If so can you post a picture of it?

Thanks,

Jeff

No, it sold on Ebay.  I posted the link a few days ago.  I thought you would buy that one.

Just brought home a complete B-R Electric & Telephone Co. wall phone. This thing weighs a ton! Of course, the batteries in the camera are dead. Recharging and should have photos up later tonight. Transmitter face looks like the one in this thread.

Farmhouse fresh. Shot a few quick pictures. Complete except for the mouthpiece. Any ideas of the age?
