As you can see this is a wonderful telephone made by GEC. This one is dated 1954 on the handset. Note the cradle was manufactured to allow it to be used in very hot and humid parts of the world and allows air to circulate through the top to prevent over heating. This is a very solid and beautiful design and has two bells of different tones inside giving a lovely ring. It has been totally stripped down and rebuilt after each part has been cleaned and polished. The dial is a GPO No 12 number only dial face. This is a wonderful telephone and has been fitted with an electronic microphone and a very best quality hand plaited all British manufactured braided handset cord and a GPO specification round plastic line in with a UK telephone plug socket. It is fully converted and set up to work using a special line simulator and then tested on my own BT line to ensure it is working perfectly. I can make a dial label with your information at no extra charge.
