The type 16 is the GPO
designation for the L M Ericsson skeleton telephone. This classic design, also
known in America as The Eiffel Tower telephone, was introduced in the 1890's in
Sweden.
This example is in generally very good condition, with its original
paint. There is however a chip in the ebonite top platform. The price reflects
this.
Credit/Debit Cards are the
preferred method of payment.
I no longer accept cheques.

Please call me (Gavin Payne) by telephone if you wish to place
an order for a telephone, spare parts, or have an enquiry. I can usually
be reached 9.00am to 5.45pm any day, including weekends. Calls in the
evening are not appreciated and could make me very grumpy. The number is
01245 400601.
I am in the shop
most Saturday and Sunday mornings between 10.00 and 12.00. These are the
only times I am in the shop for the sale of spare parts, conversions and
repairs.
Conversions and repairs can often be carried out while you wait.
If you have a telephone that you want to know more about, or
have it
repaired or converted, please have it right next to you when you call.
Please also have a selection of small flat bladed screwdrivers to hand. I do not give advice for DIY repairs or conversions or valuations of any
kind over the telephone or by email. Please bring the telephone to my shop
for assessment, but always call me first before bringing it in.
