Supercool Old Foreign Telephone


wait... what the?

'Rikstelefonen" with Western Electric Grip. Unknown Date. Found at My Father's house. There is a twin, but this one is cooler with the Lion Shield.  Note the brass Dial. What? The numbers run 0, 1.....9?? but 9 is closest to the stop tab? You need to do reverse math to connect to the intended number.  The dial roughly translates to 'First lift hold on the dial tone using said disc' [sic]  The phone can be wired to work on a standard phone jack (done). The antique ringing is great.
