Antique Brass and Bakelite Desktop Cradle Telephone

Details

An elegant antique desktop telephone crafted around the 1920s-1930s. This central battery model was typically found in government offices, executive boardrooms, and upscale residences connected to early urban networks. This collectible piece features a solid, glossy black Bakelite base adorned with a metal label frame on the front. Its defining feature is the striking polished brass cradle support, which holds a classic handbar receiver with a textured grip and its original braided cloth-covered cord. The metal ringer bell, also finished in brass, sits neatly atop the housing. The telephone retains its vintage rear connection wire with an authentic two-prong plug. A superb technical antique, ideal for telecommunication collectors or for adding a sophisticated, historical accent to a mid-century modern office or study.
