Selection
of Desk Phones
Here are the assorted vintage telephones we have managed to buy over the
last few years and are ready to part with to make room for new
additions.. We use the cradle phone in the front left of the picture.
The wall phone in the back is a Western Electric. Nothing
exceedingly rare,
but they are all pretty nice.
Good . . . . . . $395.00 SOLD
Pay Phone
This probably dates from the
20's-30's or so. It is in nice overall
condition and has the original guts. The lock is missing. It
is wired to plug into today's socket so someone was using it fairly recently, I
have not.
Good . . . . . . $395.00 SOLD

20's or so. It is in nice overall
condition and the box has the original guts. The phone has
an interesting adjustable feature for the mouthpiece. The handset
lower ring is broken and need to be glued and or replaced.

Hump Back Telegraph
Key This
telegraph key is early and unusual. Note the form of
the bar which is known as a camelback or hump back.
Note the paint and highlights still viable on the
cast iron casting. I am not sure what if
anything is missing from the two holes out in front,
but the key itself is in fine original condition.

Vibro-plex
Telegraph Key This
Vibro-Plex telegraph key or bug has a serial #
195802. Where that puts in in the scheme of
things with collectors of these "bugs" I do
not know
Good . . . . . . $195.00 SOLD
Electro-Bug Telegraph Key Patents Pending by
Electro Mfg. Co Fresno CA This
unusual telegraph key is in very nice condition and
marked with the above info. I read that this
company moved to San Francisco, and that this key was
patented, so this version hailing from Fresno must have been one of the earlier
models being marked Patent pending. The base
measures about 3 x 6 1/2". There is a stamped
# 11210 the bottom. There is a electro-magnet to
help speed things up or control the action if you
got it going to fast, and I suppose the sliding
lever by the Key was to adjust just how much control
it would exert. Different, and nice.
Good . . . . . . $325.00 SOLD
Patented Century Telegraph Key
This is the nicest example of this style
telegraph key that I have ever seen. The patent info is written on the
base, and the decoration is bright and crisp as if it was applied last week,
but it is original. The name comes from the fact that it was patented
right after the turn of the century. It is also referred to as the pump
handle key and was designed for those who were developing Carpel Tunnel
with the typical style keys available. A rare and unusual piece in
suburb condition.
Excellent.......$1795.00 SOLD
Early
Bunnell Camelback Telegraph Key This
nicely detailed key and sounder with cast iron frame sits on a nice mahogany
base, and is in very good condition. There are no chips in the pads,
the windings appear to be good, and everything clicks and clacks as it should.
In the front left corner, stamped in the mahogany is "J. H. Bunnell and Co.
New-York". It also says "ohms" but it doesn't say how many.
Good . . . . . $345.00 SOLD
