Collectible Bakelite phones
2/1	Click thumbnails for more pictures	Stunning Black The 1930’s signalled the growth in manufacture of Bakelite telephones with their clean classic lines and the increased use of the handset combination in preference to the separate ear and mouthpieces. As a result of this development throughout the world, one or two classics emerged from most countries and we will show a small number of these here. This picture shows a black PMG 232 "Pyramid" phone recovered from use in Australia, but also common in the UK. Click thumbnails Pyramid phone without the bell base making a more petite look. Often installed this way	It is very similar to the initial shape developed by the British Siemens Bros. Company and called the Neophone. It was most commonly made in black, but mottled brown, ivory, red and green were also available – these other colours do command very high prices, but great care is needed in purchasing because they could be reproduction – quite a number from India have been seen recently. GEC (UK) also made a similar unit called the Gecophone. $445 $325

All original including the internal components and "Blueprint" circuit diagram. Original Nickel plating is in exceptional condition This type of phone was used in the 1920/1930s era and would have been connected to Central Battery exchanges that were used before the telephone network was changed to Auto Dial. The exchange operator was signalled by lifting the receiver; no magneto handle to turn. This meant that the technology was only suited to cities where the telephone was close to the telephone exchange.
