The
1930s 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.

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.

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. |

I
have this mottled brown Bakelite phone advertised for sale, purely because
it may be a more valuable Bakelite than I can "afford" to keep
in my collection.
It
is extremely rare and with a very rare and unusual (Last Number Dialled)
dial, and the Bakelite is perfect.
There was a UK version sold recently on eBay for A$15,500 (not that this
one is as valuable as that). I don't know if the pics are still there, but
the item was at item # 6215636568
