Extremely rare LM Ericsson (Royal Stockholm) 20 lines Magneto Switchboard

Time for this switchboard to find a new home, although it is one of my favourites and probably one of the rarest of all LM Ericsson creations. It is a late 1800s, very early magneto telephone switchboard.

I actually made a specific journey to the UK to collect the switchboard and prepare it for shipping back to Australia. It is very likely, the only one available in Australia. I have visited many museums throughout Europe and have seen only one other

It is in absolutely original and complete condition, with no broken or missing parts. Also with all of the required 20 interconnect plugs.

All original timber top and cast iron legs with the Royal Stockholm crest moulded into the cast iron legs.

Original (Leclanche type) power supply consisting of 4 "wet cell" glass battery jars, housed in their original wooden case.
