Original antique wooden wall telephone with nickel bells and a battery box and writing table made by L. M. Ericsson company Stockholm, Sweden. 
The phone has a magneto and a crank to make calls. 

ca 1918

The batterycover is wood and metal with graining texture. Graining was common in the 19th century, as people were keen on imitating hard, expensive woods by applying a superficial layer of paint onto soft, inexpensive woods. 


In 1878 Lars Magnus Ericsson began making and selling his own telephone equipment. His telephones were not technically innovative. In 1878 he made an agreement to supply telephones and switchboards to Sweden's first telecommunications operating company, Stockholms Allmänna Telefonaktiebolag. 

Hight: 65 cm . 
width: 21 cm . 
depth: 23 cm 

weight: 5,6kg 


In fairly good Condition, with wear due to age and usage.
