Telephones



Radios sort of evolved into telephones. I decided to collect examples of telephones from when they were first introduced in public. I had about 30 at the peak. My most exciting find was this old Skeleton 'phone which was was the first GPO telephone in public service in the 1890s. I found it at an antiques centre in Lyndhurst. The other phones have gone now. Although I might have a couple of oldies somewhere!
