Swedish American Telephone Co. – Early 1900s Hand Crank Fiddleback Wall Phone

Description

Swedish American Telephone Co. – Early 1900s Hand Crank Fiddleback Wall Phone

This phone is in very good original condition with a very nice finish on the case and the only damage being a small chip in the transmitter cup. The transfer logo on the lower part of the case has deteriorated somewhat, but it is still mostly legible and bright. The phone does have a Swedish American Telephone transmitter as well as an embossed receiver. The receiver may be brown Bakelite. The internals of the phone are quite nice, with the original Swedish American magneto that cranks and rings the bells as intended, and a No. 3 condenser. There is an extra screw hidden under the bell box to better secure the bottom box cover. This is an antique item, and has not been refurbished, so some age wear is to be expected.

The item is untested and being sold as is.
