	The 1930’s signalled the growth in manufacture of Bakelite telephones with their clean classic lines and the increased use of the handset combination in preference to the separate ear and mouthpieces. As a result of this development throughout the world, one or two classics emerged from most countries and we will show a small number of these here. This picture shows a black PMG 232 "Pyramid" phone recovered from use in Australia, but also common in the UK. Occasionally available	It is very similar to the initial shape developed by the British Siemens Bros. Company and called the Neophone. It was most commonly made in black, but mottled brown, ivory, red and green were also available – these other colours do command very high prices, but great care is needed in purchasing because they could be reproduction – quite a number from India have been seen recently. GEC (UK) also made a similar unit called the Gecophone. $385

In my opinion one of the most stylish ever produced in the US, these pictures show the Stromberg Carlson 1212 - "Fat Boy".	A rare phone unfortunately with the tiniest hairline crack near the green lable (reinforced inside) $365 Email for more pictures

	British Ericsson Bakelite wall phone. One of the magneto signalling era from 1957. This was a true art-deco style and was one of the last of the magneto era from LM Ericsson. Excellent condition $275	Email for more pictures
	British Ericsson wall phone. One of the mainstays of the magneto signalling era in Australia. Some of the later models have the circular wooden plug just above the writing slope, filling a hole for a dial (PMG type 765AW). There do not appear to have been many converted to dial operation. These last models seem to have been mainly finished in dark varnish. This was to be prone to cracking and flaking, and a good original finish is uncommon.	5 Occasionally available $425 Email for more pictures
