Antique 1900/1910's Black Antique GPO English Candlestick Telephone
This is the finest example of a working GPO #150 original antique candlestick.
The body is black enamelled and the mouth piece is bakelite and comes with a chrome dial. The phone has a flex wire from the earpiece to the base and a bell ringer inserted in the base. We have not touched up the iron base to retain the authenticity of the piece. This telephone can be hooked up to an original wooden bell box for an extra £125. Please note that this is an original phone from the 1900s, and will have some wear and tear.
The General Post Office (GPO) of the United Kingdom carried also the sole responsibility for providing telecommunication services across the country.
Above the collar at the back are the marks No:22 PX/L
