Ericsson - Analogue telephone - AD 741 - Walnut

Ericsson AD 741 (often indicated also with the code AB 741 or similar depending on the markets) is one of the most famous wall or "pulpit" telephones produced between the late 19th century and the early 20th. It consists of an upper part that contains the two-bell ringer, houses the magnet generator and the cradle for the receiver, the lower part has space dedicated to the local batteries necessary to power the microphone mounted on a fixed arm on the upper housing, it is typical of models with local battery. The receiver is in bakelite and metal. The classic earpiece hangs to the side, with cords braided in fabric. Built with precious materials, predominantly walnut wood with brass or nickel finishes and fittings, this model used a magnetic call system. To call the user you had to turn the crank on the side,

Today the AD 741 is considered a "classic" of technological antiques. The device is complete, it has no damaged parts, the wood is in good condition and for evident reasons it has not been possible to test it; it is not a replica, this is an original telephone.
