Description from the seller
White Bakelite telephone from 1958 +extra: bell, 2nd loudspeaker
.
Old white telephone, Bakelite, very heavy, in good condition.
With extra listening loudspeaker (for a second person or when there is a lot of ambient noise).
+extra bell: 1 double and 1 in original box.
Long connection cord.
Spiral cord of the handset with fabric covering.
.
Device from the French PTT.
Everywhere it says "Propriété de l'état". (State property).
That was also the case in NL at the time, the PTT being a state-owned company, and the devices were rented.
On the nameplate it says:
Appareil (toestel) Mobile BC1
type 339 by Ericsson.
20.8.1958
"Mobile" apparently referred to the fact that it was a free-standing desk telephone, not a wall-mounted one, which was screwed in.
.
Operation: I have no way to test the device. It was taken out of service as working at the time. I assume it would function normally."
