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.

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.

Western
Electric CB
wall phone finished in a darker mahogany colour finish.
Complete
and with the correct receiver and transmitter and horn. All original
including the Western Electric manufacturers graphic on the front panel
This type of phone was used in the 1920/1930s era and would have been connected to Central Battery exchanges that were
used before the telephone network was changed to Auto Dial. The exchange
operator was signalled by lifting the receiver; no magneto handle to turn.
This meant that the technology was only
suited to cities where the telephone was close to the telephone
exchange.
