Before dial phones and cell phones, the candlestick was the telephone: a tall, slim desk stand with the mouthpiece on top and the receiver hanging on the hook at the side. Kellogg Switchboard & Supply Co. of Chicago was one of the big independent telephone makers of the early 1900s, and this stand carries its name and its patent dates. It is the kind of early telephone collectors look for, and it makes a great conversation piece on a desk, shelf or period-style office display.

Details

  • Key facts: the receiver is molded 'KELLOGG S. & S. CO. CHICAGO, U.S.A.' and the nickel-plated transmitter is engraved with the patent dates Nov 26 1901, Mar 19 1907 and Apr 14 1908.
  • Non-dial desk stand with transmitter, hook switch, receiver and cloth-covered cord, on a black painted metal base and shaft.
  • Desk stand only; the separate ringer box is not included.
  • Weighs about 3 lb.

Condition: Untested and offered for display or restoration. There is rust and paint loss on the base and shaft collar, the nickel on the transmitter shell is pitted with green corrosion spots, there is heavy rust inside the base, and the cloth cord is frayed down to the wires in places. See photos.

Flaws: Rust.

The photos are part of the description. Packed with care.
