Kellogg Candlestick with kellogg dial F301

[wds]

Picked up another Kellogg dial - this time on a candlestick.  I had to partially disassemble the dial to clean it, and it is quite nice to work on.  Very simple in design.  The number plate is the rural type, whereas my F135 has the numbers and letters.  These kellogg dials have a sound all their own when you spin them.

Nice one Dave!

Beautiful phone!  I love the font used for the numbers.  Seems like they all look the same but not this one!  What is the model of the candlestick?  Do you know any of its history?  Can you use it on modern phone lines?

Thanks - it's one of my favorites.  Model F-301, and I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work on a modern line, except for maybe the dial.  As for the history, it was made a couple years before i was born - and now it's in my collection.  The 90 years in between I'm not sure.

Unless the dial is actually faulty it aught to work as well as a Mercedes dial.
