2/10	Email for pictures of the specific phone but almost exactly the same as this one - dial slightly different	Stunning Black 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. Click thumbnails Pyramid phone without the bell base and substituted by a lead-weighted base, making a more petite look. Often installed this way	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. Working $485 Working $335 GEC Gecophone. Working $375
