The most exciting militaria pieces brought to you by Edgar Clin 

Edgar Clin

Field telephone Ericsson, The Russian Empire, Petrograd, 1915. This is an extremely rare piece, has a very high collection value.

But it can be a real beautiful decorative piece or a nice addition to a telecommunication collection.

The telephone was most probably produced in the Krasnaya Zarya factory in Petrograd. The factory traces its history to a telephone workshop founded in 1897 in St. Petersburg by a Swedish businessman and inventor, founder of Ericsson, Lars Magnus Ericsson , which was later transformed into a factory of the Russian joint-stock company L. M. Erickson and Co. 

There is a nameplate that reads "РУССК. АКЦ. ОБЩ.  Л.М.Эриксон Петроград 1915 (L.M.Ericson Petrograd 1915)". РУССК. АКЦ. ОБЩ.  is short for "Русского акционерного общества" which means  "Russian joint stock company". 

Although it is very worn due to intensive use, all its components are in place and in good condition for its age. The headset has been repaired on  the handle and fastened with wire. By the type of the wire and its highly worn nature, it is understood that the repair process was made in a very old time.  It looks like the length of the handset had increased due to this repair and because of this increase, although by a very small margin, it does not fit fully into the wooden slots. But the lid of the box closes without any problems

Field telephones are telephones used for military communications. They can draw power from their own battery, from a telephone exchange (via a central battery known as CB), or from an external power source. Some need no battery, being sound-powered telephones.

Please take a look at the many pictures provided to get a good sense of the item.
